China has a history of really strong iron fisted rule followed by things falling apart followed by iron fists. what needs to be done is to remove the iron fist without having the country devolve into civil war and chaos.

What we need to do is foster the people who will overthrow the one party state that exists in China now (can't really call it communist) and replace it with a real democracy. The two things I can see that could go wrong are this

The PLA could and probably would nuke Shanghai if things REALLY got out of control. The army was purged so thoroughly after Tiananmen Square that I believe that they would have no thought about destroying a million peasants if it would keep them in power. THe other thing that worries me is that if the democrats do prevail, will they see us as an example or as tools of their former opperssors? They might overthrow their government and then kick us out for being collaborators.
