Ahh the "pokemon" theory. If we just trade with China, they will spontaneously transform into a western freedom-loving nation, like some kind of pokemon.

Seems we are applying the pokemon strategy not just economically but also in regards to human rights.

That’s the same mindset that America tried to apply to the Soviet Union in the 1920s, and in the end all we did was ensure that regimes survival.

Exactly the same as China. Giving them modernization loans and allowing their shithole backwards economy into the WTO were done purely out of hope that they will suddenly become a friendly nation. But all it has done is ensure their survival.
