Hindsight is 20/20 of course. I guess they wanted to prevent a 2nd USSR, and thought that stimulating capitalism would also stimulate democracy.

Because in the end, let's face it, the real problem is the CCP and not China itself. If China was a democratic country, the threat would be way smaller.

Chinas ambitions and culture go back further than the PRC. Their goals have nothing to do whITU communism.

People really don't seem to get this. The communism red herring is just the same red herring it was with the USSR.
