Why did Nixon and our own industry beef up China to the point the U.S can't do anything in the Pacific without reckoning with them?

They were the enemy then and now so why?

    China beefed HERSELF up, the US did its damnedest to hinder them.

    Napoleon once said, "Let the Dragon sleep, for when she wakes, the world will tremble." (Ici repose une dragon endormi, laissez le dormir, car quand il s'ėveillera, il étonnera le monde.)
    The Dragon is stirring, and the world is shaking like a leaf. This post was edited by Slartibartfast at September 23, 2017 8:02 PM MDT

    No, U.S industry helped. Methink it was fear it would be the Soviets who helped or us. If us we would at least have leverage. This post was edited by O-uknow at September 24, 2017 12:26 AM MDT
