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.
US capitalists: hah, yeah, sure. Would you look at these profit margins!?
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.
Well your grave and mine. But the ultra-wealthy will live their best life, until there is no one to bury them.

Me reaping (decomposing my productive state into a bloated financial institution): owiee nooo
