This is one of the reasons I fear a major Chinese civil war is possible.
Tons of disaffected and unemployed Chinese youth, combined with a catastrophic demographic collapse (worse population growth rate than Japan, as bad as Mao's Famine), a completely insane steel and lithium industry that is divorced from reality, and is being propped up by western investment or insane make-work projects, and so on and so forth.
It really looks like there's a good chance the Chinese government could actually collapse from economic pressure, if we weren't desperately trying to remove those pressures and make them look bigger/stronger than they actually are. If the communists do collapse, I'm not sure that China will hold together, and given the history of China, I think we could be looking at a real possibility of a civil war that kills 100 million people, and potentially even spans the globe.

Most peaceful Chinese civil war.
