Very interesting!

I looked through it. I notice on the majority of the topics, America is considered the evil empire and blamed for starting WWIII, instead of China.

So what else is new?

Curious- If China is heading to a civil war, what are the element to it? Are there ethnicity's, tribes, regions, what? Who will be rebelling against what or who? I admit, I have a paucity of knowledge on China's internal workings or potential divisions.

It would most likely be along a rural vs. urban division. The cities are quite wealthy, while the countryside is dirt poor. Most of the population is ethnically homogeneous, though regional identities are strong and would only become more distinct in a civil war. The north and south of china, in particular, are very different. Moreover, before the revolution a chief faultline was peasant vs. landlord. All the landlords were killed at the end of the revolution, so it would probably be peasants vs. party officials.

The irony of the situation is incredible: a people's rebellion against the people's republic.

I think a more appropriate explanation would be the people against the party ( the government )
