      China: we're going to become a manufacturing machine for the world, but we're going to use your investment, technology, and infrastructure to build up our country and eventually overtake you.

      well, the US could do a revolution, nationalize what's left of the country and then start rebuilding. that would prevent this ghastly future...

      but nah, they're gonna ride neoliberalism to the grave.
