Winner for Sept. 19: Will China split up?

The voting is closed.

This week's winner asks a question that has popped up in recent decades, given the high rate of demonstrations in China, the growing rich-poor divide, and the restiveness of Tibetans and Uighurs.


	The Wise Ignorant suggests:	How likely is it for China to split into several countries in the next few years, and what would be the global repercussions?
	Guest suggests:	Compare the economies of various countries to get a sense of how relative economic stability and growth relate to the quality of life and overall health.
	Randall Robertson suggests:	If China could break up as the USSR did, could the United States do the same and loose the word "United"?
	Jim Finley suggests:	What will happen as conflict rises with demand among China, Russia, India, the U.S., and regional powers for the fossil fuel resources in the Middle East, South China Sea, and Aral Sea Basin?
