I always speculated that eventually would destroy their economy knowing it would destroy the US economy in the process, and that China would be in better position to withstand it than the US.
The thing is, if China thinks that by imploding its own economy it will take the US with it, then they are delusional. There is the “rest of the world” not just the USA. Even with AHOLE libs messing some things up, Americans are used to making order from chaos...we are simply not command economy oriented. So we have some lean years and our callow youths learn to be responsible money wise and work wise. I think we can survive China’s own suicide.
