Oh I forgot to add to my original comment 10 years of economic
sanctions to grind everyone into the ground before the bombing and
decapitation of the government.  Some people only want to deal with
history whereas I am writing about the current strategy of the
imperialists vis a vis Chinese investments.  The Stalinists tend to
prefer murdering their own people whereas the imperialists prefer
murdering the poorer peoples of the world although in a serious class
struggle that violence will be turned internally.
