The US was not engaged with China prior to 1971, how did that work out for the United States and for China? Over the long-term, engagement with China has led to more personal freedom for the Chinese. Trade with China has helped lift hundred

"The WAIS-R arithmetic score also depended on sex, being higher for men than for women (12.1 vs 11.1, t149 = 2.4, p = 0.02), and on occupation, being higher for participants in biological/physical than in social fields." Is t

This is going on because of in-group fallacies. Anything that some Americans do wrong is because of "other Americans" or the Republican Party. Anything that some Chinese do wrong is because of China as a monolithic entity.

Correlation does not mean causation. People migrate to richer countries. Richer countries are higher on the technological frontier and therefore it's more difficult to increase their per capita productivity, and therefore have weak gro
