>>52434832In the 1970s the Chinese government would have collapsed into a second civil war between maoists and leninists if the USA didn't deliberately intervene on the side of Deng and prop china up with gibs after Mao had finally been sidelined/croaked after decades of his idiotic premiership. The result of the Deng era to the end of the Jintao era was a rapidly modernizing china, similar to south korea, with major cities like Shanghai in 2010 developing into modern metropolises like Tokyo (but with more poor people and industrial accidents).
It wasn't until the Jinping era, where Jinping decided Maoist style personality cults were the way to go, that China began to see a massive economic contraction. Technically this isn't Jinping's 'fault' since the conservative government of Hu Jintao did not roll back the one child policy in the 00s, resulting in chinese zoomers being few in number compared to boomers, but the demographic collapse imminently resulting from decades of telling chinese millennials to not have kids, plus the prohibitive cost of living is all coming home to roost right as the government cracks down communist style on anyone suggesting they made missteps by engaging in trade war with the USA in 2017 rather than simply negotiating better trade deals. That's a good 40 years of growth before things went to shit under incredibly retarded boomer leaders who think things were better in the 1960s (big surprise).
The end result is that Nijisanji will get less money from their Chinese affiliates, most likely. NijiEN themselves I can't say. I would guess the top tier members like Cocks Cuckuma have no reason to leave, but maybe he'll become British Angloman after becoming an indie- salvaginging his declining popularity by taking a larger cut of the money.
