You charged in on your steed to the defence of a poster who rattled off a laundry list of supposed neo con successes. Once of which is the containment of China. Which is simply not true. The fact is, American elites in politics and business have helped China become an unshackled behemoth
“Unshackled behemoth” = “prosperous country”. The second was a prerequisite for “behemoth”.
The one cannot be without the other, and yet prosperity is nevertheless a moral and benevolent objective. A policy to cripple Chinese economic liberation would have been evil. And an evil course likely would have made a more dangerous China sooner.
We cannot know what turns a country will take, and we are not responsible for its internal politics. But for what China has become, otherwise, and its good behavior to this point, the US nevertheless deserves credit.
