His idea was to split the Sino-Soviet alliance (which had been broken a decade before) and lure China away from Marxism and ontothe capitalist road. Until 1989, it looked like it was working. Then China put a stop to it, permanently. In the 90s, it was the neoliberals like Bill Clinton who saw what a fucking fortune was to be made, and ruin the American working class at the same time by putting them in competition with slave labor. Hard to compete when China is selling at retail for less than the cost of production in America.
