Subject: Re: AOC’s thoughts on Taiwan
On TMF - I used to say specifically that Republicans and Democrats, eager for "free trade", WTO, and PNTR with China, are sellouts to China and that China - will suck up American tech, knowhow, systems, and then use their huge labor pool to basically copy our homework.

I predicted that, too. I was too young to know about Nixon going to China. I do have a memory of us selling the Chinese 747s, and agreeing with the dissenters that we were just giving them advanced (for that time) avionics. I was dead-set against granting them MFN trading status, and I still think that should be revoked.

But I've been outvoted by the business interests who only could see cheap labor and lax pollution standards.

And now, within 10 years (probably less), they will be able to equal us militarily (especially their navy). Good job, you pro-MFN supporters.
