Dang, good move to force a whole country into bankruptcy.

Seems to be working for China, as well.

The US did the opposite with China. Instead of trying to bankrupt China, the US opened up trade in hopes of creating a liberal democracy in China.

Yeah, and it seems to be working for China -- not on. The US opened up trade with China, and since then China has managed to have the West dismantle its industrial base. It's working great for China! (Except hopefully the rest of the world is finally waking up to what's going on).

It's not like China forced the west to dismantle its industrial base. The west was happy to do it! And now we're living in a globalized world, where the worker has won less than their masters.

I suggest you look at the external debt of China vs other nations, you may be surprised with what you find.

Should I have been taught Ronald Reagan did that as well?
