Reagan's supply-side economic policies, dubbed "Reaganomics", advocated reducing tax rates to spur economic growth, controlling the money supply to reduce inflation, deregulation of the economy, and reducing government spending. None of the aforementioned or the connotations of "Reaganomics" in his speeches really happened as advertised …

Mr. Conservative - Reagan lead the way for the devastating destruction of manufacturing in the U.S. ...
.
Let’s start with what the "Deregulation of the economy" really meant to Reagan …
.
Reagan deregulated the transfer of U.S. technology to China, a communist country … via several Sino-US Trade Agreements starting in 1984 i.e metallurgy, telecommunications, electronics, aviation products, advanced equipment for making advanced integrated circuits, scientific instruments, high-tech products, military technology, and space technology.

What occurred was … “The largest transfer and sale of technology the world has ever seen.” …

Reagan rejected “protectionism” all policies of that protected our industries endangered American US Industries, such as .. textile, apparel, steel, auto. Reagan said it went against his conservative principals. We no longer have major textile, apparel and steel industries in the U.S.. .

Transfer of Technologically
Reagan dramatically increased technologically transfer to China. Increased the volume and sophistication of advanced technologically and goods developed in the U.S. available for licensing and export to communist China.
.
Reagan endorsed all free trade. Free trade meaning it is a policy by which the US government does not discriminate against imports or interfere with exports by applying tariffs (to imports) or subsidies (to exports).
.
In order make an effective manufacturing workforce in China that could produce US products for sale in the U.S. we had to provide/sell China our state of the art manufacturing technology.
.
In other words in order to access 25 cent an hour labor that could work 14 to 18 hours a day under horrific working conditions not fit for a dog, with no environmental regulations, we had to get China the top tools to produce ASAP ...

(Communist) China is currently involved in a widespread campaign to acquire U.S. military technology and classified information. To fulfill its long-term military development goals, the Chinese Military uses a variety of methods to obtain U.S. technology; including espionage, the exploitation of commercial entities, and a network of scientific, academic, and business contacts. The China uses a vast network of agents and contacts to collect pieces of information that are collated and put together by the Chinese Military.

The Nixon Years (69 –74)
After communists took power in China in 1949, successive American presidents had refused to recognize the new Communist Chinese government ...
.
Prior to Nixon it was against Federal Law to communicate, travel or trade with Communist China.
.
Prior to Nixon, China was considered (by U.S. standards) an archaic agriculture based society ...
.
In 1971, Nixon led the U.S. government in officially recognizing the Communist Chinese government and became the first American president to visit China the next year. The next U.S. President to travel to Communist China was Reagan in 1984 ...
.
In 1972, during Nixon’s visit to China, Nixon and Premier Zhou Enlai signed the Shanghai Communique which emphasized that it would be in the interests of the people of both countries to develop economic relations. The two sides agreed to facilitate the development of bilateral trade. Thus ending a long period of isolation and confrontation. The economy and trade doors were now open. In 1972, American business attended the Chinese Export Trade Fair in China and we were off the races, however the first year of trade 1972, only resulted in $12 million dollar in trade volume.

The Ford (74–77) & Carter Years (77– 81)
.
Ford was too busy restoring the country after Watergate … nothing major was accomplished Chinese-U.S. trade
.
However during the Carter years trade with China had reached $2.4 billion by 1979 …
.
Carter toward the end of his administration in July 1979, Carter signed a Trade Agreement with China that gave China Most Favored Nation trading status when trading with the U.S. MFN Status. Countries achieving most favored nation status are given specific trade advantages such as reduced tariffs on imported goods. A country grants this clause to another nation if it is interested in increasing trade with that country.
.
Reagan Years (81 –89)
.
China was the first Communist country Reagan ever visited. in 1984, Reagan arrives in China for a diplomatic meeting with Chinese President Li Xiannian. Reagan's trip was highlighted by his administration's desire to improve diplomacy with China in light of the growing economic relationship between the two nations. Other topics of discussion between the two leaders over the course of the six-day trip included the development of commercial nuclear power in China
.
During Reagan’s first 4 years Reagan had a policy of protecting endanger industries such as ... textiles, apparel, steel, auto … Once re-elected and after his trip to China, Reagan swiftly abandon this position saying was more consistent with the conservative ideology and growing trade with China ...
.
In November, 1983, the Reagan Administration publicly announced new regulations for the transfer of technology to China. The new regulations were designed "to reflect a more liberal import-export control policy" by raising dramatically the volume and sophistication of technologically advanced goods developed in the United States available for licensing and export to China.
.
To facilitate the policy the Administration transferred China to the country group under the Export Administration Regulations 3 which includes the NATO countries and other friendly non-aligned nations...
.
The immediate effect of this categorization appears to be that the "fast and furious" export of more goods and technology to China. The new regulations made it possible for routine approved technology transfer rather than subject to the old policy of case-by-case review.
.
In January 1984 Reagan signed the Sino-US Agreement with China’s Premier Zhao Ziyang which approved the sale, transfer, and trade of US high-tech and industrial technology.
.
In May 1984 Sino-US Committee on Commerce and Trade signed an agreement. Resulting in future technology transfers to China of metallurgy, telecommunications, electronics, aviation products, advanced equipment for making advanced integrated circuits, scientific instruments, and high-tech products, and space exploration.
.
Reagan pushed for all out free trade not only with China but worldwide as part of the conservative philosophy ….
.
By the end of Reagan's first 4 years more than 100 Fortune 500 US companies had manufacturing facilities in China ...
