China is a bit more of a complex situation since they are a republic, the citizens have no direct say in government matters. Now of course the Chinese government knows they have to continue providing growth, otherwise citizens will question the system and revolution could happen.
But let's say a majority of voting eligible citizens decided their country needs to dial down debt-fueled growth? Well there's almost nothing they can do, even though popular opinion has changed.
In Greece, even with the fraud that went on voters still had to know bad financial choices were being made. Heck, I live in the U.S. and know when politicians are using financialeering to make the books balance better...

- gunnyguy121 9y agoI think China may be more on the brink than people realize. Right now there are about 30 million men in China who can't get married,not wont, can't. There simply aren't enough women in China for the men to find a bride. That's 30 million men who may be left jobless, and without a relationship. That is a recipe for disaster, maybe even a revolution
- justinhj 9y agoIf your figure is correct that's only 2% of the population.
- D_Alex 9y agoUnfortunately, these 30 million are "men of marriageable age" (the imbalance is due to the practice of aborting female foetuses during the "one child" policy). This would mean perhaps 15-20% of young men are doomed to bachelorhood... potentially a volatile situation!
