I have mixed feelings about Nixon's and Kissinger's trips to China. I was never in favor of America's hostile stance toward that country, but in the long term, the outcomes of that 1970's "normalisation" have not been good for us, i.e. the subsequent offshoring of most of or vital industries, which made us all the more vulnerable.

I sense that "normalising" relations with China was only a first step in the engineering of a vast transfer of wealth and power into the hands of a tiny super-rich global elite.

I doubt that it was even Nixon's idea in the first place.
