The Unparalleled Invasion

Just found this little scenario while trolling the interwebs:

"The Unparalleled Invasion" begins in 1910s China. Under the influence of Japan, China modernizes and has its own Meiji Reforms. In 1922, China breaks away from Japan and fights a brief war that culminates in the Chinese annexation of the Japanese possessions of Korea, Formosa, and Manchuria. Over the next half century, China's population steadily grows, and eventually migration overwhelms European colonies in Asia. The United States of America and the other Western powers launch a biological warfare campaign against China, resulting in the destruction of China's population. China is then colonized by the Western powers.

I thought it was an interesting scenario, what you do lot think?
 
I agree with what's already been stated on the subject, namely the completely unrealistic and racist nature of the story. However, I think a post-1895 modernization is a little too late to be called a Meiji, so I'm wondering if that's the term actually used in the story.
 
Isn't a post-1895 modernization the basis of Hendryk's "Superpower Empire?" If we avoid WWI and maintain the existing pre-1914 Utter Racist Jerk attitudes in the European powers, some sort of confrontation seems likely given a rapidly modernizing China that loudly denounces European colonialism and supports independence movements in Asia...biological warfare as lethally effective as in the story seems rather ASB, though.
