[quote=FlyerInHi]We should try to look at China objectively because we were so wrong over the last 30 years.
Big picture wise, America is poorer today because we were wrong about China, Iran, Iraq, Russia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Central Asia, Turkey, North Korea, Africa, even Latin America and South East Asia.[/quote]
That’s right. The entire policy of engagement with China turned out to be completely flawed. By allowing China to benefit from the global economic system while not enforcing certain rules, the US allowed the CCP autocratic system to have legitimacy with it’s own people.
Now we get to see the the world de-globalize and head into another 50 years of cold war. Sucks for the next generation of Americans and Chinese young people who likely will see a world worse off and lower standard of living compared to the previous generations.
