Back in 1993 the Japanese Prime Minister warned Bill Clinton that China was not going to be seduced by western values and democratized.

Making China into a "counterbalance" to the United States was a core foreign policy of Clinton and his insane Secretary of State Madeleine Albright (halfbright) who famously bemoaned the fall of the Soviet Union for that very reason.

So they sought to make China the new "counterbalance" to America and now we have a monster breathing down our necks.

People who knew anything at that time knew it was a crazy idea. If nothing else we did not "defeat communism" as a quarter of the whole world still lived under it. China remains Communist, even if they have been living under the equivalent of Lenin's New Economic Policy (Lenin suspended socialism for a time in Russia after the Revolution so he could consolidate power. It worked and Russia's economy bloomed. Stalin ended it and murdered the "Kulaks" small independent farmers in Ukraine, as a part of his drive to reimpose the collective economy.)

I have said for thirty years America has paid and will continue to pay for electing Clinton. We cared more about our immediate economic well-being than in what was just or moral and put a scurrilous and corrupt man in power knowing full well who he was. But our 401K's were doing good so we went with him. We've paid for that ever since.
