1. China Proper (which is the original China and is about 50% of present China) covering the Han and Manchu areas has always been in danger from foreign powers. Hence they first built buffers around them and subsequently acquired them forcibly to defend themselves. Now the very same buffers acquired (read Xianjing - muslim autonomous region, Tibet - buddhist autonomous region and Inner Mongolia autonomous region) are experiencing unrest and bomb explosions (which are never reported). Hence the PLA has resorted to heavy handedness and Han people migration to these autonomous regions to make the natives a minority in their homeland. The question is how long will this time bomb of One-China policy tick? 2. Communist government cannot go on with capitalistic economic and social system forever. The question is how long will this time bomb tick? 3. China can never get Taiwan by force due to Taiwan's superiority and American dominance in the region. No amount of posturing from China will enable them to get Taiwan. China as a superpower now is a myth as it is nowhere near the US military power in military spending nor R&D nor capability nor equipment. May be in the future. Still a strong military does not guarantee super power status since USSR was strong but crumbled coz they could not manage the size of their empire much like the UK empire failed in the mid 20th century. 4.

4. Chinese refused to float their Yuan freely. The dollar decline is hitting the Chinese firms dearly. The overheated economy will collapse due to various factors much like what happened to Japan in the late 1980's. The west will always find an alternative production site (country) to make cheap goods. Chinese economy is export oriented and not domestic demand driven unlike that of other major countries. Also, chinese 1 child policy will make them have a mammoth aging population being fed by a declining young population. Also, the gender ratio is in favour of more men than women. The social strata and balance will crumble. All the above and other reasons will bring China to her knees one day. The PLA will destroy China due to its agressive and expansionist policies. No expanding empire in history was able to hold on to foreigh territory indefinitely. It is a matter of time before Chinese Empire crumbles and withers into bits and return to its original form 'Proper China'. Wait after the olympics. The chinese economy followed by political collapse will take place gradually. Infact it has already begun. China as a superpower is a myth like calling a cat a tiger.
