Fear and Hope in the Year of the Ox- Cataclysmic event on horizon or not

I do not believe that a cataclysmic event such as the Cultural Revolution will take place. However, as the articles below explain WTO violations as well as job losses have taken a toll on China's economy. Just as China made a step toward capitalism, it would be as feasible for China to return to a more CCP centrally dominated socialist economy because of the downturn.
As the economy has slowed less technology and advancement is in the news, these two articles below struck me as having more relevance toward an widespread shift in China's economy. The WTO has accused China of Dumping Class C fasteners on the open market as overstock. This coincides another article discussing China's lack of work for manual migrant workers. I have several questions concerning this, because with China's need to reduce population just to meet its food concerns as well as basic needs, I cannot understand how migrant labor is without work. It is true that the state owned entities have become capitalist. However, proper regulation of capitalist industries and learning from pass historical mistakes such as the late eighteenth century trade inequalities should help China to heal the Ox from its illness. Reducing possible unrest.

Modern China's- Trade Tributary Cambodia -BBC News

Though Cambodia has been free for years, this was shocking due to the violent nature of the removal.

RSS Cambodia BBC News had a surprising article about the eviction of Dey Krahorm in Phnom Penh. The Traveling musicians, cultural arts and dancers that lived in the the slum area of the city were removed. This removal was not without force, and was done before land compensation was firm. Most artistic events happen within the city, so the forceable removal took the artist from their work. How long will Arts, and culture suffer while it peacefully waits.
