Tiananmen Square
The implosion of Maoism released the pent up energy in China. America did not do that.
You’ll be pleased to know what I read this morning. That is, China is mot experiencing population growth but likely decline. The rigid one child law coupled with the female trend to delay child birth has the fertility rate far below that required for replacement. The economic growth trend may be dampened by the decline.
Lastly, I’ll concede some of what you say is true except it is not our doing. The modernization of China is a natural historical event. Once the severe bonds of communism were thrown off, it couldn’t be repressed. While not gone, the repressive failed collectivism is no more.
The challenge is to learn to deal with the reality......... China is.
Tiananmen Square
Trillions of dollars in lop-sided trade with China, had no effect on China. Okay then. I appreciate you bringing me up to speed.
Tens of trillions of dollars worth of trade over a decade didn’t have as big an impact as the decision to allow some capitalist principles to come into play.
Anotherwords, if those changes allowing capitalist principles to come into play, and the U. S. and the rest of the West had not traded with China, China would be just as advanced as it is today? I don’t think you believe that.
I sure as hell don’t.
Oh yea..let's all sing about the Chinese ascension and system. Heck yeah!...China is great at getting over on other nations....they sell inferior products and poisoned food supplies without blinking an eye.
And, Yeppers...that communism is no problem now....the people in China can't even search the Internet because of blocks on all outside communication except financial transactions. The media is state sponsored and they kill people who don't have the desired amount of children.
Yep..that communist fascism is all but gone./s We should all be just like China. China is the cream with a cherry on top. /s The author should take up residence there...his children deserve to be raised there...where there is no "collectivism" and his high ideas will flourish...not!
These new kick-your-forefathers-in-the-nads jerks are such morons...they will be the richest people on the planet when it all falls down. Personally..I won't catch their sorry butts on their way down with my blood sweat and tears...shrug.
