So it's purely a question of global economics to you?
Were you of those in the '70s and '80s who insisted that US trade policy with China should be delinked from their human rights record? That if we extended MFN to them and supported their membership in the WTO, that Red China would join the family of nations and become freedom loving capitalists and democrats?
Well, we gave Red China everything they wanted and more and they are more totalitarian than ever. Have you heard about their crackdown on all religious minorities, about the million or more Uyghurs in detention camps? About their new social score system of merits and demerits that will determine what privileges the Chinese citizens will have, or not have.
All the excuse makers for China and those who'd sell their children to China to make a few bucks have put the US and the world in danger from the biggest and richest communist, totalitarian nation in history.
But, who cares as long as some Americans are still making money selling us out to Red China.
It is, because that’s what will determine who owns what. The relative politics of the country only matter in so far as they effect the country’s ability to grow and utilize capital. If China follows the patterns of previous “taking over America” countries (ie, they don’t) doesn’t really matter if they’re commies or capitalists or Zoroastrians, they didn’t take over.
