- atleastoptimal 2y agoWouldn't sanctions just make them more antagonistic? If you integrate China into the world economy more they have more to lose when they invade. Imposing sanctions necessitates they become more self-reliant, making them more resistant to further sanctions if they were to invade.

- shunia_huang 2y agoThis is too risky because China is growing too fast. In contrast, proposing some proposals that can be implemented quickly and take effect during the four-year term is more likely to be passed and reflect political achievements.
- tjpnz 2y agoChina was integrated into the world economy (and still is, albeit not to the same degree as it once was). It did nothing to curb the CCP's imperialist ambitions. That navy and the bases they're building in territories they hold no legal claim to could've only been built with money from foreign trade.
