And technology has been transferred to China when it was needed and helpful.
Now, in many ways, there's not many areas left where China needs foreign technology because it's very much ahead of the game in a lot of them, not all, but in quite a lot.
But clearly that was very important.
So why did this happen?
I think it's the same reason why it happened in Germany.
If you're planning for world war, you also need to make sure the opponent is built up first to have a proper war.
um and um that tells you about the sort of the goals that uh play here you really think so it looks like it i mean you know i'm always reluctant to come to these conclusions but you know it was a bit much wasn't it the american investment in china shifting all this production to china for short-term profit
You know, or you've got higher margins if we do it that way.
Well, you're losing all these jobs and you're creating all these problems for America, for ordinary people, for the middle class, for the country and for the long term.
Why are you doing this?

It was a communist, more or less, dictatorship.
And Mao took very unpleasant policies, clearly, and a lot of people died.
Now, there's always this historian's view that, oh, when people died, that clearly wasn't intentional.
But some facts about this are very disturbing.
