#1 Beijing Biden was part of that under the 8 years of Obama coddling the Chinese and letting the m steal secrets if they were unable to buy them.

#6 It's also not sleeping when there are other things deemed more important going on.

The globalist party was convinced that China would turn into a big Switzerland if they were treated "properly".

Why would anyone think the the Imperial Dragon would change its behavior after thousands of years of weaponized xenophobia? To the Chinese the "Hu" (that's a generic term for all of us non-Chinese barbarians) come in two types: dangerously strong and slavish puppets. Hint: they much prefer puppets.

#8 ^ the smarter ones e.g. Dr K never thought that. They and the Goldman Sachs crowd knew the convergence & democratization rap was complete BS; they were simply using China's rise to line their pockets

#9 A leopard spots thing. "Democratization" was the cover or action. The long term goal was the establishing the govt store and laundering of Chinese profits to buy our debt.

#10 America did not sleep. America was up nights counting its loot.
