China is as Communist as it gets.
It isn't communist at all . At least as it exists today. That's just the C&C structure . They can't rid themselves of it as it'd mean bringing down the entire edifice.
The Americans wanted to engineer a shift to democracy.
A lot is made out of this. The real reason the US & the west continued to invest in China to mfg there was corporate greed. All these reasons provided are mostly by wooly headed liberals who're more useful idiots & ex administration officials as a veneer to couch their venality.
These guys knew exactly what was going on & what the costs would be . But corporates were minting money , share markets were having a bull run & politicians were getting their cut.
Check out that old hag Nancy Pelosi's net worth. She's made her entire fortune thru the stock market. You think she didn't get insider information ? And do you think she's the only one ?
Although her case has been extensively documented yet she hasn't faced any action whatsoever !
They wanted a hedge against SU.
They would've also liked to play Russia and China against each other.
They didn't have to play one against the other. Russia & China had a falling out in the 1960s the roots of which go back to the fall of stalin , the elevation of Kruschev & the condemnation of Stalinism by the Soviet Communist party .
That gravely endangered Mao's position as the Supreme Leader in the CCP . He saw the danger & started distancing China from the USSR. One thing led to another & they fought a border war more a skirmish known as the Ussuri River Incident in late 1960s .
The world including the US were aware of these developments but couldn't do much as China was caught up in internal turmoil courtesy Mao's policies initially reflected in The 5 Pests Campaign which led to The Great Leap Forward & the massive death tolls both took & in order to cover up for these monumental mistakes he instigated The Cultural Revolution in the mid 1960s.
Eventually the US under Jewboy Kissinger did manage to reach out with our western neighbour playing the pimp like they're now.
Perhaps a social revolution was not practical post the Tiananmen Square incident .
Coz Deng came down hard else the west was very interested in seeing China collapse like communism in Europe or at the very least see a kind of a civil war.
So trade and commerce became the preferred tool.
Answered this above.
In the 90s, Bill Clinton et all were all taken in by Chinese guile.
They weren't . Although at that point in time they didn't foresee China would become the threat it would in the future. Back then the west was in a state of hubris especially the US as they won the Cold War & what's more the Russian Federation was on the verge of becoming a US client state .
Unfortunately for the Americans, they ended up creating a peer rival feeding off their own tech and economy.
George W Bush & his administration saw the danger & were in the process of correcting course ( See the Hainan Island Incident ) when 9/11 happened & US attention was diverted for a good decade if not more only to revert with the weak Pivot by Obummer late in his first term more as a token gesture than anything.
By that time China was a different beast altogether.
The CCP was created by Jews.
That's an urban legend. Although per capita the Jews were disproportionately represented in the Communist movement worldwide , they were never top dogs with the exception of Trotsky.
Even he failed in the struggle for leadership against Stalin fleeing Russia in exile only to be assassinated in Mexico by Stalin's agents.
Infact a guy named Israel Epstein was one of the biggest supporter of the Chinese Communist Party
Epstein was a Polish Jew. He certainly wasn't in a leadership or even influential position within the CCP heirarchy in China.
and gave it key direction in its initial years.
The Americans aren't as stupid or innocent as you seem to think. They are all in on it.
Look in order to understand why Communism made it big you need to look the map of the world pre WW-1 & post WW-2. The only independent nations the world over existed in the Americas & Europe.
All of Asia & Africa were enslaved with the exception of Thailand & Japan in the former & Ethiopia in the latter. Communist takeover of the Russian Empire & their enthusiasm to propagate their cause thru the Comintern saw the latter liaising with freedom fighters from across the world fighting colonialism .
It began with Asia specifically China & spread. These freedom fighters desperately sought a foreign backer as they couldn't take on the might of the European colonisers on their own . The Bolsheviks in Russia in turn wanted to export their Bolshevik Revolution across the world beginning with these colonies.
It was a match made in heaven. That's how Bolshevism came to be espoused by these anti colonials across the world. If these anti colonial freedom fighters had another option you wouldn't see Communism get the kind of traction it did.
During the Vietnam war Nehru advised the Eisenhower & later the Kennedy administration to treat the Vietnam problem as an Independence struggle rather than a war against Communism. They didn't understand the problem for the life of them & eventually all the actors there paid a heavy price.
. Now no place is safe inside Chinese hinterland for their MIC or Economic Special Zones. Can't hide or run now
