That struck me too -
I remember watching Nixon’s trip to China on Live TV.
What was once a comparatively primitive country has jumped leaps and bounds in 40 years.
Soaring standard of living, housing values, consumer growth, city smog, and near fifth generation fighter planes.
Mostly thanks to us, a short sighted country that traded it’s wealth, standard of living and stature, to be able to buy lots of cheap foreign made goods...
What was that about capitalists willingness to sell the very rope they’ll hang from?
And they have absolutely no intention of following any sort of “carbon reduction” program. That’s for stupid Americans.
