The problem I have with that "correction" is a matter of MAGNITUDE... Yes, Republicans were involved to an extent... but when you consider that Under Reagan... China WAS NOT the threat they are today (we're talking about 1980)... and WHATEVER he did, was nothing more than an olive branch, to a backward nation (at that time). 

However, Bill Clinton laid the groundwork to make them (China) part of the World Trade Organization (WTO)... in approx 1998, and they almost immediately began their predatory business practices against America (and the west)... that cost MILLIONS of Americans their jobs, and led us to where we are today... AND TODAY, I would be absolutely ASTONISHED if we don't ALSO find DOZENS of Democrat Politicians ON the Chinese payroll... because they DO JUST DON'T SOUND like they want America to win this fight... as HARD as they are trying to subvert Trump... WHEN he is doing now, EXACTLY what many of them ADVOCATED for 20 years ago... SOMETHING has changed... and it's MOSTLY with the Democrats !!

An appropriate level of blame for releasing Chinese menace... would be:

Democrat Party   - 90%
Republican Party -10%
Laying the blame equally, is RIDICULOUS !!
 

Sweet JESUS, son. SOMEONE had to lay the ground work - and for the record, that was Nixon, not Reagan. The fact that it took some time for Chyna to tool up in no way absolves reagan for the part he played.

And let's not step over the fact that you seem to have forgotten Bush. You didn't know that W was a president? Right after Clinton? What did HE do to set things right? Laying the blame only on democ rats, is RIDICULOUS !!
