Wher did you get your history from? Even though China's had long-lasting
dynasties it's always been based on a feudal society. Same with Europe. Now
if Europe can splinter then so can China. Despite its "unified front" China
is full of different cultures and beliefs. Try this. With the magic
resurgence the tibetan monks became power houses. They took control of tibet
back, of course non-violently (probably just appeared in a puff of smoke and
said boo). That started a chain reaction the caused the local hotheads to
proclaim independence and become "warlords". All plausable, espescially in a
communist country, just look at what happened to the USSR. Its just a
byegone boogie man.
