Is This a Gaff From the President?

China has frustrated the west by being very successful in the global market place while remaining an authoritarian, communist state. It was thought that as china entered the global market, it would liberalize and either become democratic enough to peacefully incorporate tiwan or give it some kind of home rule. That's a long conversation that takes us all the way back to henry kessenger and richard nixon. We do see increasing concern about china buying farm land here near military bases, or data mining on americans through tiktok. Where it lands, nobody knows.
