But a successful transition depends on the political and economic stability of Red China. George Bush, also a former director of the Council on Foreign Relations, defended his lack of response to the massacre by declaring on June 5th that “we must react to setbacks in a way which stimulates rather than stifles progress toward open and representative systems.” In short, Beijing cannot afford to lose too much aid, lest its controlled dialectic collapse before it can be pulled off. For the United States, the only way out of this dialectic is to terminate all aid now, and to continue denying it after a controlled democratization is carried out. Only then can socialism be overthrown in China, and a truly new system built.
Instead we have been sucked in, particularly being gulled by the aforementioned fall of the Soviet collossus...into a false sense of security.
So we cast a blind eye on all the Chinese communist misdeeds, even after Xlinton is out, who granted them MFN status. Now the current administration pushed to let them into the WTO in the completely false expectation of being able to constrain and tame the dragon via a carrot strategy. As the evidence piles up that the strategy has not only failed of its purpose, but in fact backfired...further isolating the U.S. against hostile foreign competitors who willfully overlook the WTO rules that allows us to protect industries from dumping and destruction. Now we are left with yet another corrupted global organization which is more opposed than united behind U.S. interests.
