They may not have called it that but look into the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution. Both governments are bad. But the fact Chinese and us citizens are interacting face to face is a major positive.

…neither of those things were wars, and both of those campaigns were successful by any possible measure.

  The war on drugs is not a war, the war on terror is not a war. And both of those “campaigns” involved repression of concepts.

    You sure they’re not wars? The several million dead injured, and enslaved non whites targeted in said wars probably disagree.
