media - On the not upcoming collapse of China

One of the stories I told this morning the Dutch Association about my book (15 misunderstandings about China and the Chinese) is the misunderstanding that China is going to collapse. Our colleague Gordon Chang made big wave with that assumption a few years ago and builds on a longstanding tradition of doomsday scenario's regarding China.
I take the opposite view: I do not see China collapse, partly because there is rather little that could collapse. China does exist mostly on a local level; everything is local - also politics, economy and so also all the crises. It is a huge problem in ruling China, but prevents also large scale accidents.
Some people disagreed with the original assumption, saying that maybe the story about China collapsing is not going around that much as I assumed.
Also interesting discussion about the one-child policy, where I stressed a positive side, the equal right for women to get the same education and upbringing as men. Only few protests.
