True thoughts on that, China is either going to need to massively increase food production or establish a base of ideologically aligned food exporters.
Precisely. So, the conditions are going to push them to it whether they want it or not.
This contradiction will resolve itself either in accepting they need to export revolution or by liberalising. Or by doing both simultaneously in some fucked up distorted mess if leadership is bad and indecisive.
I was thinking more like the way the soviets simultaneously supported other liberation projects while at the same time increasingly watering themselves down. If the issue isn't clearly recognised for what it is I think it's pretty easy that different elements of the state could pull in different directions. That's where decisive leadership is needed to prevent it.

God damn it, China exporting liberalism was NOT on my horizon but now I have to be scared about it.
Thanks, I hate it
