No we didn't. China is incapable of being anything else. For five thousand years China has never had anything but government by dictatorship.
Hey, troll-boi.
Clinton’s granting Most Favored Nation status, and giving them the guidance system technology for MIRV’d ICBMs, followed by the wholesale hollowing out of US industry and sending it to China, is what made them what they are today.
There are four civilizations vying for dominance on Earth:
1. European
2. Chinese
3. Arablic/Muslim
4. African tribalism
This has been going on for at least 1,300 years, if not longer, and will likely be the last of the conflicts that ultimately decide the makeup of Earth a thousand years from now.
When I look at how the Chinese are treating Muslims and compare that to how the French, Germans, Swedes, etc. are letting Muslims overrun them, I can’t help but think that the Chinese are at least partially right. We might find their methods objectionable (they could simply deport Muslims instead, for instance), but they at least recognize the danger of letting a competing civilization take root within their own.
In Europe we wasted countless centuries fighting among ourselves while ignoring the menace arising in the east and it was only by the grace of God that on a handful of occasions we kept ourselves from being completely overrun. The Chinese learned this lesson, even though they represent one of the other competing civilizations that seeks to replace our own.
