“BS.Too much credit to Clinton. US-Chinese romance dates to earlier 1970s.”

Actually, I didn’t assign WJC any more or less blame than anyone else. What made you think I gave ‘too much credit’ to Clinton?

I agree it started in the 1970’s - I suppose you’re referring to Nixon opening the doors to China with a visit to Beijing. But the real damage began in the post-Reagan era, the way I see it.

The Chinese have had the inside track since Clinton took office. The kickbacks from the PRC via Lippo Bank were traced directly to the Loral Space deal.

When Algore ran for president, a group of “Buddhist Nuns” donated sequentially numbered cashiers checks, drawn on the Lippo Bank (an arm of the Red Chinese Army) to Algore’s campaign.
