It was just Henry Kissinger and Richard Nixon that sold the United States out.
They started it - and Kissinger has continued to make excuses for the PRC in the decades since then.
He was on the CCP payroll for many years as a lobbyist.
Oh bull s—t!
China was an enigma. We didn’t get intel out of there for
months after things happened. They were a nuclear power
and the United States decided to play them off against the
U. S. S. R. in the midst of the Cold War.
The Iron and Bamboo curtains were tight in those days, and
China was about as tight as a clams ass.
Opening up China put a massive body of people with nuclear
weapons on the U. S. S. R.’s door step.
There was nothing wrong with signing mutual trade pacts with
China in conventional terms. It was in the late 80s and
early 1990s that the powers that be decided to sell out
the United States lock stock and barrel.
Nixon and Kissinger didn’t agree to giving China our
patent database. One Republican Senator actually pushed
the idea. No business is allowed to manufacture in China
until it hands over the patent information for all
processes.
What Kissinger signed onto had nothing to do with what
is going on today, and to blame this on him is like
blaming Reagan for the Left’s proliferation in the
United States.
Kissinger isn’t pristine, but this hogwash about him
setting up what is going on now is idiotic. It’s
miles from the truth of it.
