Nazis?
More recently, I've considered how it is that China become such an economic powerhouse, and the answer is quite simply, the USA. Or maybe it was Bill Clinton. Below is part of a post I made elsewhere, and edited it somewhat for this thread.
In the early 90's China started welcoming American companies into China to build factories and set up manufacturing, and everybody involved made tons of money, and you had to ask yourself, why was China suddenly allowing this? And was Clinton a genius? Fast forward 20 years, and it becomes clear that China was allowing this so that they could appropriate all kinds of tech, manufacturing know-how, and industry for themselves without actually having to develop it out of nothing like the rest of the world did. Stealing tech, selling counterfeit products, supporting North Korea's nuclear ambitions, these were all warning signs that the rest of the world ignored until it started biting them in the ass, and at that point it was too late.Oh, and by the way, looks like they are going to get a "better grip" on Hong Kong, is Taiwan next? Also, in their tariff response to the US, they are specifically targeting swing states that Trump could lose. How's that for interfering in an election? If we didn't like Russian interference, we shouldn't like this, or else we are hypocrites.
In reality, there is nothing that can be done about Hong Kong unless war is on the table, and it's not. The US has been scared of China since Viet Nam, and China has gotten slightly more dangerous since then. They are going to do whatever the hell they feel like now, and nobody will do anything about it. And you can thank Bill Clinton, George Bush and Obama for doing absolutely nothing about it as the storm clouds started forming.
Trump is too late, but at least he's forced China to reveal some of their ambitions.
