The way to defeat them is to do business with them. Thats why the iron curtain fell. . . and the bamboo curtain will fall, and is falling, the same way. You just refuse to see the progress being made before your eyes.
Unfortunately we did business with the current Russian dictatorship and they became a threat to worldwide freedom once again because of it. Going as far as rolling tanks into Ukraine and displacing my own family.
Doing business with China has done nothing for us besides short term corporate profits. At the expense of helping a dictatorship grow their military, make themselves nuclear and create a global threat to human freedom. A threat we must spend more resources on every year to counter.
You dont “do business” with murdering thieves in the hope they'll become good people when they are rich enough. No, they'll rob and murder you too as soon as they see an opportunity. To these power-hungry assholes, there ain't enough room on this planet for anyone but themselves.
Death to all dictatorships! F all their apologists!
