Russia and China had a falling out in the 1960s. That’s what Nixon and Kissinger sought to exploit with the opening to China. Russia and China are closer now than they were in the 1980s, but this time, China is very much the stronger of the two. China is also more powerful and more tied into the global economic system, and into our own economy. In Cold War days, we didn’t have to worry much about Russia or China as economic competitors or about Russia or China owning a large part of our debt and our land and being a major supplier of our consumer goods.
Nixons strategy is starting to look like a big fail.
It boggles my mind we are letting China buy farmland when they don’t even let Americans live or do the same there. So many more complaints I could make.
Dam our politicians.
