Tech entrepreneurs dominate as China’s political advisers in IT push

Economic/military threat? Sure.

History has shown we can reach an accommodation with anyone.

Roosevelt/Stalin? NIxon/Cho?

I've mentioned this on here elsewhere manymtime, Roosevelt and Churchill used Stalin for the simple reason, netter the defl you know. Both knew exactly what that monster was, he was just less psychotic than thst German monstrosity. In the case of Nixon dealing with Mao and Chou (trust me, not Chol, the matter was different for the simple reason that Deng was also there, who was considerably smarter, thus considerably more dangerous, leading to Tianenmen Square. China is different, historically, and expo illogically, the real China is and will always be Taiwan, Commie China wants back Taiwan, as well as Quemoy and !atsu, for the simple reason that it has a long, long cultural memory, and still sociologically recalls apover a hundred years ofmvivisecrioj by Western colonial powers and Japam, as well as Japan visivsecting it during WW2, with the rape of Nanking,, creating Manchukuo and the use of Pu Yi as a puppet emperor, along wit Unit 731 in Harbin, which almost rivaled with the Germans did for sheer horror, itsp's just that Western mentality always focuses more on European horrors, as a matter of course. That whole country is dangerous, as well as evil, Deng fixed that place so unlike with Reagan and Gorbachev, Commie China isn't simply going to fold up like the Socpviet Union did, and now, regardless, there's and oligarch lunatic like Putin to deal with, that ex KGB apparatchik, so no, I don't think accommodations are possible, countries dont evolve because of individuals, countries evolve due to mathematics, leaders of countries are !ere signposts along the way, esp in diseased, psychotic ones. Read The Stages of Economicmzgrowh by Walter W Rostow, who was in the JFK cabinet, his non-Communist manifesto basically got the whole thing pretty close to right, if you've never read it, trust me, the single greatest work ever written in macroeconomics, and how that influences military growth in sociologically aberrant societies, those with fascist or Communist nemts. All countries undergo their Fascistmajd Communist phases, all, without exception, the difference with fundamentally healthy countries like the US and Europe is that such countries outgrow such nonsense, the same for all countries in Cemtraol and South Aapmerica, as well as Africa, except that, in many countries, monarchy is still allowed to existz which should've been universally named worldwide decades ago as outmoded, outdated, anachronistic nonsense...so, accommodation? With Commie China? No, no way, no how, just as with Russia, China nearly went capitalist, that's why Sun Hat Sent and Chiang Kai Shek (corrupt though the latter was), survive I'm Taiwan, South Vietnam was too corrupt, plus, there was no MacArthur there to do an Inchon landing and save it, pain though he was, he's why South Korea still exists today, and why the Hermit Kingdom, which really is nothing more than a Commie China province is as POd as it is, so no, I don't think accommodation possible, besides, as I've also said on Jere, only Chines Commies would ne brilliant enough to be so psychologically bollixed up, that they'd actually dump dirt intothe oceal, in heir nonsensical, misguided effort to reclaim the South China Sea, good luck to that garbage, also, you kmow? I realize youre likely to disagree, I'd ne most eager for your thoughts, however, those are mine, I'm afraid, such as they are, many thanks.
