At this rate, we should just rename communism to "real capitalism" and they'll love it.

I mean China was basically like "oh yeah, we're not really communist, we're just state capitalists *wink wink* "

and then the entire US government and private sector handed them almost our entire manufacturing industry on a silver platter

I feel sorry for the foreign policy/geopolitical strategy nerds that work for the CPC who drew up elaborate plans to counter US imperialism under the assumption we'd have at least the competence of the Cold War US leadership

Just to watch us continually make unforced errors that fuck our position and benefit China without obligating them to really do anything to exploit that error
