Unfotuntely half of the Chinese population is going to starve anyway,
but thats the result when big business takes control of EVERYTHING.
Modern dictatorships and "communist" states are run by big business.
Where profit becomes more important than life itself.

A population like that is a breeding ground for disease, especially
when half of it lives under poverty in slums.


Keep plenty of guns, plenty of ammo, and your shortwave radios and
transmitters, they are the only thing that will save you from dangerous
regimes.

Train often, watch your six, keep your powder dry and you should be
alright.
