Re: Re: 7 children killed in latest attack at China school

China's economy is heavily dependant on exports and international trade. As the economies of the West decline, China is going to have a lot of domestic trouble. They already are, really, we just don't hear about it. Protests, especially about environmental issues are common. China's environmental situation is about like the US in the 1950's or maybe earlier, meaning pollution in water and land is common, as are health issues and declining quality of farmland. Anyway, if exports decline, a large part of the workforce will be unemployed, meaning tens of millions of people at least.

The way things like this work is like crackers through a screen. The crumbs go first...a lot of them...and then the bigger pieces have to break up before anything else happens. There will probably be a spate of attacks and then we will see them happening less frequently. This does not mean there is not internal strife going on over there though. Once Europe's economy nosedives, it will affect the world economy and fewer people will be buying big ticket items from China or other countries. Administrator
