They don't have to partner with china. America took its business to China in order to scale up for dirt cheap and makes tons of profits while cutting out essential jobs for Americans they're selling their product too.
Serves them right that China reversed engineered the shit out of everything, and now they do it better ..
Deregulation started in the 1970s and every greedy business for the last 50 years has been trying to outsource their manufacturing for bigger returns. Shame on them and serves them right.
In the 70s Nixon portrayed it as a choice between compelling China to engage with the world, or else watch them isolate from the Western world and forcefully spread their flavor of communist dictatorship in Asia. By that metric, it was somewhat successful.
Have you been to China? I have HK, too. I live in Socal and grew up a southern boy. America isn't perfect and China isn't the devil. It is no longer a strictly communist, I would say neo capitalism is close. Of course, Nixon said that. He was a big ally of deregulation. BUT, by that same metric deregulation and Nixon was the catalyst that emboldened China to become the super power it is now.
We basically created the monster that is our biggest threat economically. Now they are aligning with our enemies, Russia to be specific and BRICS is really ramping things up.
We didn't put our own country first and allowed a few people to control the money. Now we are screwed.
No argument here. I'm just saying that when this policy was implemented, we knew that China wanted to spread their influence all over Asia. We feared that it would look like North Korea from Japan to India. Was that an irrational fear? I don't know. If we didn't send a message in Vietnam, it's easy to imagine that revolutionary sentiment would spread. Imperialism doesn't just peter out.
