Why does China's growth need to be curbed or opposed in any way? What does that accomplish? The only thing we need to be doing is ensuring our own stability, be decently self reliant, and improve the lives of our citizens.

The USA spearheaded integration of China with the international trading system. Their development was an intentional goal.
