China is a manufacturing/technological superpower. Once international trade
dies off, Chinese firms will have to pay their worker's a fair wage so that
they can purchase the goods they produce. They'll be landed with the same
economical enviroment the USA had back in the 1950s-1980s when they too were a
manufacturing superpower.

I am not an advocate of Communism though.
