China is struggling with rising inflation and food prices, increasing calls for democratic change, environmental degradation, pressure to alter its one child policy and international criticism over its military spending.
I think the Chinese government's planned end game is going to be rather different to what is going to happen. China is opening up, and I don't think the government is going to manage to keep a lid on it. The Chinese are not stupid people; they know what is happening outside of their country. Inch by inch, the people are gaining a little more freedom, and over time the government will capitulate and become democratic. Once this occurs, some regions will break free.
