The Fear of Civil War: China's Internal Motivation
China's fear is not an attack from the United States or any external force. It is the fear of civil war and internal strife. Historically, China has faced a divide between the wealthier coastal regions and the poorer interior. The Chinese leadership is concerned about the potential rise of the interior population against the coastal elites. This fear drives their decision-making and resource allocation, as they strive to maintain stability and prevent a repeat of the civil wars that have plagued their history.
