      Call me old fashioned but lifting 1bn people out of poverty and getting sweet cash for ourselves seems like a pretty good deal Could have done some things differently, for sure, but wholesale rejection of China trade seems nutshttps://twitter.com/eigenrobot/status/1426359141468033029 …

      this is probably the biggest policy failure out of the 90s feels obvious in retrospect but we were so optimistic then Iraq and Afghanistan fell out of the same convictions https://twitter.com/NLRG_/status/1426351295406002187 …

      Also China’s turn to aggression wasn’t inevitable, it’s the product of certain factions winning out in the country’s internal struggles

      yeah I mean WTO admission was less than a decade after Tiananmen tho I agree about the value of lifting people out of poverty but I don't think its worth it if the cost is destroying the system that made it possible

      Sure, and US invaded Iraq and Afghanistan and turned Libya into an open slave market What did China break? Just reinforced US system of protected trade? Again, plenty of mistakes, more industrial policy / protection prob better for US, but that would have been on the margins?

      If Chinese actions go no further, this assessment might be correct The problem is the writing is on the wall for far worse, which is why people are making more nebulous evaluations of whether Chinese enrichment has been worth the (potential) cost

      I share concern about Chinese domestic brutality I don't think people are even contemplating broader aggression in the style of empirical hegemons I wish HK was preserved and I wish Taiwan long life. But they are strictly within China's regional orbit, not global ambitions

      US still occupies Guantanimo, which it literally is occupying from Cuba. And you know what - I get it. What are Cuba gonna do? What is anyone else gonna do? That's life
