The US is nothing like China. The entire economic structure is totally different. US is a high cost economy and China is a low cost economy. This has everything to do with the role of the govt. The US is so unlivably expensive BC everything is owned by capital interests and used as a means of rentierist extraction (Housing, healthcare, education, utilities, natural monopolies, etc) and because of the privatization drives up every cost. China is low cost BC it takes case of most basic needs for its citizenry and has vanishingly little severe poverty because even without money, people can get by. The US is only drifting farther towards privatization and rentierism. You are deeply ignorant.
