Guess which country is the most unfriendly to visitors?

But that's "would have if only" which isn't much worth arguing as it is all conjecture where not outright fantasy. Let me ask the same question another way. Do you think that, if Nixon had not been president, "Communist" China would never have been opened up to the rest of the world with particular reference to the US? Without a doubt China would have opened up no matter who was president. Nixon just happened to be president when the Sino-Soviet rift became heated. It was inevitable that China would seek out the US as a counterweight. It was just easier to implement with an "anti-Communist" like Nixon in the White House. -- "If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy."
