Ouch!
Bad night?
No, Eisboch was pointing out the obvious. China is a major player in
the political and economic landscape that effects everyone in the world.
To ignore them or to ostracizes them will have no impact on their
human rights and environmental problems. Nixon, correctly, believed
that the best way to impact China's future direction, was by making them
a part of Western economy so the west could encourage them to reform
their political, economic and social issues.

Smithers:

Nixon's strategy didnt work very well did it. China gets worse every
year since the 1980s in terms of human rights violations. The CORRECT
strategy is to him them where it hurts, in the pocketbook. China (and
Singapore) are proof that you can have capitalism without human
rights. It is up to us to support human rights by making them pay for
it.

You're wasting your time trying to provoke any of the Seven Dwarfs or
the right-wingers not in that group into having a social conscience.
Virtually all of them are "I've got mine, so screw you" boys.
