Those who say "We made a major blunder by letting China accede to the WTO, allowing it to grow powerful." are being disingenuous.
When, in 2001, China got into the WTO as a developing country, it was subjected to the strictest measures applied to any developing country ever.
Plus, those who accepted China's WTO accession were interested more in making profit than in helping China.
Their plan was to simultaneously make money & internally subvert the Chinese society & CPC just like USSR.
Unlike USSR, China was wise; it allowed economic openness only.
