Why are we doing business w/a communist country? We don’t w/Cuba. I don’t think we did w/Russia back in the day. Why is it okay w/China? What am I missing here?

Are you being serious or sarcastic? Doing business with brutal regimes is not something we are shy about. They only become “evil” if they somehow inhibit or threaten capital accumulation of the upper echelons. If they aid in capital accumulation, it’s not a problem. That is the litmus test, not any professed ideology. There is a systemic contradiction today, where the upper .1% of the US interests are more aligned with the average Chinese than the average american. ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT.
