Didn’t Pat Buchanan try to talk Nixon out of kow towing to China?

China is capitalist, not communist. It shed communism in favor of capitalism decades ago.

It is one party rule but communism is not its guiding economic model. Private enterprise is a significant factor in the Chinese economic way of life. The government holds onto only the critical companies...and the press.

Good article. I would say a decoupling is overdue.

China is the money behind the impeach Trump.

Yes!!!. We should accept the failed results of a 35 years plus experiment. If you trade with communists and give them an obvious advantage they will not turn into capitalists. Just cut off all trade with china. Give our allies 1 year to break off all ties with china and if they do not cut off all trade with them too. We can manufacture our own garbage if need be.

An absolutely immoral government that sells the organs then incinerates the bodies of their political prisoners must be 'decoupled' from us.

IMHO, our nuclear capability (and mass firearm ownership) is the only thing that prevents a Chinese invasion.

Should have happened the day Nixon landed in DC after the “historic trip”.
Despite Joe McCarthy going off the rails, his initial message was true. We were then and have continued to be infiltrated by Marxists of every stripe and for at least 3 decades have been growing our own. Too late to pray for a crop failure. Now we should isolate and call out the subversives.

Post; comments BUMP!

Yes but when have you ever heard a Congressman or any politician bad mouth China? Crickets. They are mostly all bought and paid for.

[discostu]

Yeah that’s gonna happen.
