verpaupering in het westen.
daar komt oorlog van.

de chinezen zullen hun welvaart duur betalen.
"If their native state sinks into the sloth of prolonged peace and repose, many of its noble youths voluntarily seek those tribes which are waging some war, both because inaction is odious to their race, and because they win renown more readily in the midst of peril, and cannot maintain a numerous following except by violence and war."
Tacitus, Germania
