Ref:the mouse plague.Apparently the harvested grain was left in large piles with just a tarpaulin type covering and not stored in silos at the time.It's not surprising the local rodents thought that a good idea.
Now whether China would be that unorganized I don't know.

THat is well appreciated now. I honestly pass no judgement. IT was an event of it's times. Now is now and that's that. If we can get some good market exchange with the UK now...Bring it on. We wanted that with China too but they are behaving like total arseholes under Xi and blaming us for everything. Despite them having cheerleaders and stooges like Todger in the west... They will not walk over us..ever.

What could be done is the placing of tariffs on their exports, not only by the UK but also by all other countries who oppose their expansionism - including even our enemies, the EU!
Lack of sales worldwide would hit the Chinese harder than anything.

Sure. That wouldn't be much of a sacrifice. Most of what they export is garbage anyway. The west just needs to stop eating the lotus. You read The Odyssey by Homer?..That says it all.

One perception i have, about the Chinese, is that, when their growing population overflows, into other Countries, which it seems to do regularly, you don't hear much talk about them bringing their Politics, i.e. Communism, with them.
That might confirm that they are, really, escaping the Regime.
On the other hand, many from other Countries are also busy repopulating, for the example, to the UK, and they are determined to bring with them whatever fanaticism they have!
I'm not sure what immigration policies are, now, in place in Oz & NZ, but I'm sure that there will be better controls than ours!
Question I have, for Oz & NZ, is - to what degree are the incomers trying to take over the Religion & Politics?
