i do not know what China's game plan is.

The first problem is understand that there are two Americas
There is America, and there is The US.
One is a country and one is a global dominance organization.

And, i believe China is saying no to one, while seeing if the other has the strength to survive the coup.

Further, i feel that China may be thinking of killing off a ⅓ of its population... but they need the proper story so they don't get everybody uprising.

Soooo, at least China is trying to do something... America is still asleep to its corn crop failure.
