Nixon opened the door to China when they really were an enemy, and pursued detente with the USSR when they were an existential threat. Reagan also tried to negotiate with the USSR. When two major powers are having trouble, that is when the need to talk is greatest. But now the Republicans want to poke this guy in the eye.

Think of it this way, China want the suckers to come back so they can steal more of the innovative tech they keep making since manufacturing in China is so "cheap" and one doesn't have to worry about so many regulations and safety concerns. I'm pretty sure some of these companies have learned their lesson and will be looking for cheap labor elsewhere.

If I were a tech titan I would be wary of anything he says.

Despite the media reports, he was not received well by the CEOs and others in Seattle. He went on and on about his childhood and difficulties. It was typical "passe" information to the polite listener who really wanted to know what he was going to do about the cyber attacks and freedom to do business in China. It was a rhetorical question because the listener knew the answer. Nothing changes in a dynasty. Then he continued to try to persuade the listeners that some insignificant community in China had more protein to eat and internet connections. Government control of food distribution and internet blockage to information are just more babble. If he really believed in what he is saying, he would give the billions of $$$ he has to the poor in his country and work for no compensation.

Interesting. Somebody said almost exactly the same about the Pope on another thread. Shows that on one level people are people, despite apparent differences.

They were welcomed by Washington state Governor Jay Inslee.

While the head of Vatican City State is welcomed by the President of the U.S.

They are both officially "stats guests" to my knowledge.

Lol.

"a black-tie state dinner at the White House"

How can they afford this when the government has an $18.4 trillion debt?

Every wandered WHY this administration is "inviting" China to visit most of our primary technologically advanced companies and even allow their military personnel to come and train within USA soil to "learn" US Military capability?

Ever also wandered WHY this administration not only allowed but invited radical Muslim clerics and leaders to the White House to address the administration staff, few years ago?

Ever wandered WHY the USA has an unrestricted OPEN DOOR to so called Muslim refugees and Mexican and S. American border crossing questionable refugees?

Meanwhile the US provides more arms to more Muslim population i the name of fighting ISIS. The fact is it is a racial and religious war. USA is providing arms to those who are not using the weapons for the reasons and purposes intended.

Ever wandered WHY so much of USA's "secrets" are so openly revealed by the administration and the very persons who did the worst leaks including Wiki Leak were not even pursued and prosecuted?

Ever wandered WHY there is so much turmoil in the USA with more scandals within the government departments than ever before, starting with the State Department, the IRS, the EPA, the FCC, and worse the Justice Department?

This administration and the Clinton administration before that have basically "sold" the USA to China and the Muslim world. In that process the entire world is suffering.

So this new open door to China is no surprise to anyone.
