Containment also was a very elastic term that included everything from Nixon's detente to Reagan's rollback. To those advocating a return to Cold War tactics for dealing with China, do you mean Truman, Ike, Kennedy, Nixon, or Reagan? 6/ — PolitiTweet.org

Those advocating for a new Cold War with China tend to downplay the costs of that war. It wasn't "cold." Millions died in mostly senseless proxy wars. We made some awful mistakes in misunderstanding the enemy (ie. Vietnam, Angola, Chile, Iran) 5/ — PolitiTweet.org

They also tend to overestimate Chinese power & purpose, a mistake we made in our assessments of the Soviets especially in the 1970s. Does China really have the capacity to rule the world? Is Xi really the heir to Stalin? I'm skeptical. 7/ — PolitiTweet.org
