Probably about the same as after Che destroyed the economy through his mis-management of the sugar industry.
I'm laughing at everybody on here trying to justify the Chinese as the next "near-peer" opponent. Sound like a bunch of Squid Boat drivers and AF generals trying to convince Congress to fund more GBGBs and the next generation of Jedi X-Wing Bombers.
What exactly do all of you propose we do about it? It's not an arms race. Their "arms" are their population. You want to try to isolate China? What?
