You remember Nixon? God damn you're fucking old. I kid, I kid. Even so, I don't have much of an issue with the state taking charge of the economy. All economies are command economies in a way. And in terms of cultural issues, China (and pretty much every other Communist/former Communist country) is way to the right of the US.

Yep. Born in '58.

Mao was a mass murderer. Nixon normalized him. Called him all sorts of nice names. He & Kissinger were completely taken in.

Jim, on Vulcan we have a saying, "Only Nixon could go to China."
