in civ4 terms:
- China is facing very high unhappiness
- Part of its cities and terrain are heavily underdeveloped
- most of its neighbours are weaker - but there is lots of them and all of them potentionally dangerous - it has to defend on over 5 fronts.
- its reliant on naval trade, while the seas are crawling with more advanced USA navy
- USA can bribe any of its many neighbours into war if needed
