I agree.

As more and more US companies set up operations and R&D in china the potential financial loss will be a deterrent to the US not to counter any move china does that we do not like. In a nutshell they will have us by the b*lls.

You hit the nail on the head. Too many in the U.S. (and this thread) see China as no match to us militarily. I believe that their economic moves are entirely based on gaining economic leverage on us so that they never need to oppose us militarily.
My hope is that the plan may backfire--the more successful they are economically, the more likely the people of China will demand more social, economic, and political freedom
