The week that changed the world.
That was Richard Nixon s description of his 1972 visit to China. Nixon was the first American president to engage directly with China s communist government. He was right; that visit changed everything. For a while, they told us relations with China would help every American. Free trade would make us rich.
They told us that for decades, even after the evidence mounted that it wasn t true, even after China entered the World Trade Organization and immediately eliminated entire portions of our economy and the millions of American jobs they sustained, most of which never returned. The media mostly ignored that part. It didn t affect them, and they weren t interested. Factory workers could learn to code. In fact, some workers may have learned to code.
