Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the main issue. He had a chance to arm Chiang Kai Shek, who would have slaughtered the Chinese communists, but he didn't, probably because he had a hard on for communists sympathizers.
Nixon made a mistake by opening trade with China as well. China would have been better as a bunch of poor shit farmers.
Everything else subsequent is somewhat minor by comparison. Although Hunter Biden receiving diamonds from Chinese diplomats is somewhat worrying...
China is a high civilization going back thousands of years. With the exception of the period from 1800 to c. 1985, China has been one of the most advanced civilizations on the planet throughout pretty much all of human history.
To think that a country of this size, with such a large population and this cultural background, would have stayed piss poor farmers is dumb.
Also, we would all have been in for a decade of hurt if China hadn't single-handedly pulled the world economy out of the Great Recession.
