Three Decades of Delusion

the idea that communist China, with its distinct civilization and culture going back millennia, might in short order morph into something akin to a liberal democratic state and become a “responsible stakeholder in the global system” was borderline lunacy.

Great article by @andrewmichta on how we misinterpreted our Cold War victory. Liberal democracies that neglect their own industries and working classes do so at their own peril.
