You ever notice how America seems unable to meaningfully damage China's economy?

This is because China's economy is integral to everyone else's. You can't really hurt China without hurting yourself. Their annual trade volume is in the trillions of dollars.

China paid a price for this leverage. The price was allowing capitalists to operate within China. That is how you do business with the rest of the capitalist world.
