Sound like 1935-40?
It may have already been stated but China does not care. It does not care if it’s economics’ goes backwards and 100 mill plus die of starvation. It does not care that for the next 12 months or 12 years it goes backwards. They do not think about tomorrow as western worlds do, worry about staying in power and pacifying it citizens. They think about 10 or 50 or 100 years down track. It is just mammoth and happy to move at a glacial pace if needed.
