#1 Check with your COC. Review our business regulations and policies in the U.S. Review our trade policies. Review who owns our debt. Review the outflow of our monies. That should give an explanation for your alarm.

#2 As illustrated by China's decisions during the first Korean War, Vietnam, + Sino-Soviet border clashes, WHAT INTIMIDATES THE USDOD IS CHINA'S DEDIC WILLINGNESS TO FIGHT + MILITARILY INTERVENE DESPITE ANY WELL-RECOGNIZED LACK OF ECON ANDOR TECHNOLOGICAL SUPERIORIORITY OR DOMINANCE, ETC. AGZ MODERN OPPONENTS.

E.g. SINO-SOVIET BORDER CLASHES > its now known that Beijing was willing to let the USSR invade or nuke a number of Chin cities in order to gain Operational or Mil Advantage over the Soviets iff the border clashes ever expanded into full-scale major war between it + Moscow.

IOW, THE CHINESE WERE WILLING TO ACCEPT = TOLERATE MASSIVE MILITARY + CIVILIAN CASUALTIES, + LOSS OF TERRITORY(S), TO ACHIEVE ITS AGENDA = DECISIVE VICTORY IN THE END.

Aka OUTLASTING AN ENEMY = "WINNING BY NOT LOSING".

CHIN = RADICAL ISLAM/MUSLIMS = WAGE WARS OF YEARS, DECADES, + GENERATIONS, e.g. EX-POTUS DUBYA'S "LONG WAR".

Lest we fergit, NET > PLA OFFICIAL > China can win agz the US in a major US-China Nuc War because Chin's 1.3-1.5 Bilyuhn-n-rising massive population is such that Amer may lose ALL of its population in major war while China may only lose roughly 1/2-plus/minus.

Also, China's above 1.3-1.5Bilyuhn population figure [official Govt figures]remains heavily disputed by US-Western Analysts.
