Happy Birthday to Yu

BEIJING, July 1 (Reuters) - China's ruling Communist Party turned 86 on Sunday vowing to make itself stronger, cleaner and more responsive in order to take on fresh challenges and meet the people's new expectations. The party, which boasts 73 million members, needs to enhance "self-construction" in the face of "unprecedented opportunities and challenges" facing China's development, said an editorial in the party mouthpiece, the People's Daily.
I think the worst thing Nixon did was to open up China. Few people remember that China used to be as reclusive as North Korea. News trickled out of the communist country as rumor and through defectors. Had China not been in a position to exploit the world economy, it would have collapsed, decades ago, just as the Soviet Union did. And then there are the deaths. China's communist regime has murdered an average of 750,000 people a year over the last 86 years -- 65 million people murdered through executions, intentional destruction of population by starvation, and deaths resulting from physical confinement, or through forced labor. I guess that's one method of population control. China is also responsible for the destruction of the Tibetan culture.

That's right. I never thought of that before, bt it makes sense. If Red China hadn't been "opened up," it probably would have collapsed by now. Nixon and Kissenger, in effect, created a country that is governed by a party that is communist in name only. In fact, it's free enterprise plus big brother - style thought control, or, to put it another way, fascism. As a result, we now know that we will have to confront them someday, or, if the Dems are in power, surrender to them.
On a related note, I wonder whether the "opening up" of Japan by Commodore Perry in 1854 was the root cause of December 7th, 1941.
