Seclusion is only an option for a short period when other countries want to
take advantage of you.

We are on a "shrinking" planet and seclusion won't work in the long term.

But China was always big on central control, which leads to Socialism, which
always leads to Totalitarianism and then collapse because none of those things
ever works.

China is in the late stages of this.

Maybe in 2028, Trump can take over China.  :)
