Not enabling Russian IP theft didn't make Russia go away either.

What it did was make them lose the Cold War, since they couldn't cheat anymore: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Vetrov

Sure, and then what? The US still has bad relations with Russia, a dictatorial petrostate which has shot down a civilian airliner and sent its agents to murder people on British soil.

That's what I mean by "doesn't make China go away". Collapsing the CCP raises the question of what next. Going through a period of shortened life expectancy and government by organised crime but with a nuclear arsenal?
