The immediate aftermath of an implosion would be ugly.
Unless we forced China to cooperate, the 120,000-200,000 prisoners in the labor camps would be slaughtered by the guards.
All of the factories would close because they are outdated, as we saw in the DDR. Many people would lose their jobs.
The decrepit railway system would need to be completely rebuilt, along with the power grid.
Anyone older than 40 would have difficulty adapting to capitalism. It would be essential to train them to recognize grifters and carpetbaggers to avoid what happens to many defectors in the South.
The reunified country would need to immediately implement a training system for northerners, especially in computers and languages.
And the many orphans and other discarded persons would need housing.
