Hannity and Limbaugh and their ilk criticize the Presidents seeking to normalize relations with China because he isnt asking anything in return. Hes giving in on the strategy they say. Uh, yeah. In the 60s we told them Were not trading with you unless you stop being all Communist and totalitarian and stuff. Fifty-three years later they are still the same. I think half a century is plenty of time to determine a foreign policy strategy is a failure. We have been unable to influence them this way. Normalizing relations and establishing trade doesnt mean we approve of their government policies (see: China). It means maybe we can exert influence through some other means. And maybe the other means wont involve depriving their poor citizens of opportunities to make a living.
