    The US has the civil society to buffer the effects. China doesn't.

    The more the time passes, the more I think that the United in USA is a misnomer. But then, what do I know? Maybe you like the liberty to work as a driver for Uber and pay more taxes than the 0.1%-ers.

    but the Chinese Communist Party would be literally torn apart by a billion angry Chinese peasants.

    You mean those Chinese peasants that never lived any better along the history? Me thinks you delude yourself - it will be the population of the cities that will try to torn the party, but I'm not that convinced they'll do so [soylentnews.org]

    According to Badiucao, Tank Man represents “something lost in China’s young generation now — the idealism, passion, sense of responsibility, and confidence that an individual can make a change”, he said.
