Don't be too sure, the Nixon/Kissinger open door to China was to give them a taste of the fruits of capitalism then being a little bit pregnant democratic reforms would follow, that was the theory then , it obviously has gone in a different direction, dissidents do not fare well,become nonpersons, the Chinese communist control communication, travel, know who you talk to and about what, China has just about a lock on strategic materials, their enhanced military sits astride geopolitical critical trade routes. Russia is a continental threat, China much more problematic
