Fifty years ago, Richard Nixon decided to ignore Napoleon’s advice to “let [China] sleep, for when it wakes it will astonish the world.”[1] I was there when China opened its eyes. And I have watched it transform the various orders of the world and become an American obsession.

Every generation of Americans feels obliged to reinvent the China policies it inherits from its predecessor. We can be sure our country will eventually get its policies right – after we’ve exhausted all the alternatives. But we have not yet done so. And, for many reasons, our latest policies toward China are almost certain to prove self-defeating.

We have just exited the most bizarre presidency in our history. One of its distinguishing characteristics was the substitution in our foreign relations of unrestricted economic warfare for diplomacy. Bluster and bullying replaced dialogue and reason aimed at convincing the recalcitrant to see that it could be in their interest as well as ours for them to do things our way.

When it is time to wake up, the dragon will wake up.

Just acknowledge the fact that it is a DRAGON which most Americans and their allies are still in denial.

Napoleon was a smart man. Yes now too late. the West and their eastern allies realized too late they fed a monster for 30 years.

Chinese realized since 1979 that they have fed an ungrateful litte shit of a grandson for thousands of years.

Maybe that is why Chinese historIes often referred to these Southern tribes as barbarians?

Did they ever treat any Asian nations with respect? They treated every empty unoccupied lands as theirs rightful possessions today you people idolise their religion as well.

In history the Whites were forced to kowtow to the Qing Emperor and they resented it. So they cleverly exploited the Qing Empress flattering her with useless Western gadgets.

But they did constantly mentioned about the slaves in IndoChine slaves as an excuse for their bad behavior calling their lying, ungrateful bastards in the memoirs.
