Breitbart: Our past leaders, going all the way up to the office of the President, have failed to check China’s brutish rise.
With the mounting number of lies from the People’s Republic of China about them being ground zero for the current pandemic, those failures and how to correct them is the biggest question facing our country when we rebound from this outbreak.
What makes this situation complicated is grappling with how our leaders weren’t merely silent during China’s emergence, they actually rubber-stamped it.
It all started with normalizing relations with China in 1979. The “foreign policy blob” backed by think tanks and corporations alike would have you believe that President Richard Nixon’s framework toward normalizing relations with China was a success but nothing could be farther from the truth. In the aftermath of the Vietnam War and during a time when China was putting counter-revolutionists and protesters into mental asylums as a means to indoctrinate them into communism, Nixon was lobbying for Beijing. But Nixon, who once wrote “we simply cannot afford to leave China forever outside the family of nations,” is not the one paying the price for his errors. We are.
Despite warnings, in 2000, outgoing President Bill Clinton and Congress continued prioritizing cheap labor over the American supply chain and the threat of an increasingly authoritative China by extending “permanent normal trade relations” to China. That decision, opposed by workers and promoted by corporations, essentially backed China’s bid to join the World Trade Organization.
America hasn’t been the same since.
After the media goes bankrupt and they all lose their jobs from the fiasco they’ve generated, they’ll have to go back to they’re previous jobs of crisis actors.
If there is a major international fubar going on you can be sure greedy Democrats are involved.
“It all started with normalizing relations with China in 1979.”
That was a long time ago, I wonder who was in charge back then?
People will be jumping off buildings as a result of the financial pressure they feel from the democrats shutting down the economy.
But we should ignore those deaths and focus on people who might have a cold.
Richard Nixon’s 1972 visit to China started the ‘normalization’ of our relationship with them. I remember thinking at the time that this was not a good idea.
bullshit
this started with the moa revolution when the elites threw chang kai shek to the wolves

NIXON! READ IT. NIXON!
Told you so, bitchez!
Yes, and we gave Europe back to the communists, too.
All that cheering for a tearing down a wall, only to elect an East German communist to run Germany and the EU.
We are pretty close to giving these United States of America to the fukcing communists!
Sooner or later China’s going to ask for their money back. Then it gets real.

Only if Americans keep insisting on paying The United States’ way. When you insist on living with a junkie, sometimes the junkie’s “associates” make your living conditions… challenging. Move out. Move the junkie out. Take your pick. Both relieve you of your beloved junkie’s “associates”.
