I can't agree with this. The cross pollination is bound to end. We found out two decades ago that sharing tech with China does nothing to help spread democracy, so why do it? There's a whole world outside of China that isn't running concentration camps and controlling every aspect of their citizens lives. Why should we reward Chinese oppression and human rights violations?

Also note that Asia Times is out of Hong Kong and we know that press there has to tow the CCP party line or face ramifications if they don't.
