I believe the US lifted trade concessions with China when China agreed to
make capitalist changes to their economic system. Those changes should
inevitably lead them down the slippery slope to democracy.

Why should it, if the Chinese people find themselves relatively
prosperous, if indeed not relatively wealthy beyond all dreams of
avarice, under the current Communist government? Their government is
stable, the people have more opportunities than ever in Chinese history,
their country is at peace with the world and they are seeing an influx of
consumer toys to keep them happy. What's to rebel against?

No rebellion necessary for democracy, just like there was no rebellion
necessary for the capitalist changes that occurred.

No rebellion necessary for democracy? Interesting theory. Have you told the
Imbecile-In-Chief?
