Too late now, Nixon "opened up" China and Ronald Reagan said "NO!" to the kind of prosperity that would be needed in the 21st century.
It's like political parties haven't been paying attention at all for a "little" while now.
If American voters can not get over electing media "personalities" acting as leaders, those kind of fakers are not going to be far enough in the rear-view mirror to allow pulling ahead by the 22nd century :\
We're already 1/4 of the way to 2100.
And more gloomy than ever in the 21st century so far, recovering industrial leadership just got dramatically more unlikely in the last few months :(
I had one interesting comment, conversation with Zyuganov... They talked about they don't want this NATO expansion. They know it's not in their security interests, and on and on, and said, well, if you do that, we may have to look to China. And I couldn't help using the colloquial expression from my state by saying to Zyuganov: "lots of luck in your senior year." You know, good luck. And if that doesn't work, try Iran. I am serious. I said that to them, and they know I knew they knew. Everybody knows that is not an option. And everybody knows, every one of those leaders acknowledges and needs, and they resent it. But they need to look West. - Joe Biden, Atlantic Council, 1997
