Your post is filled with ignorant preconceived notions that don't comport with reality. China has a supremely competent and forward-looking government (in contrast to countries with high levels of crippling levels of corruption) that has overseen the largest and most sustained economic expansion in history (source: World Bank). Living standards have risen steadily and consistently.

Yes, there is still poverty in China, but it's being decreased by the day, and has decreased substantially in the last 40 years, despite the extremely low economic level that China started from in the 20th century. Something like 70-80% of the reduction in global poverty since 1980 was achieved by China alone. The Chinese government has announced goals to eliminate extreme poverty by 2021, to climb up to upper middle-income status by 2035, and to advanced status by 2049.

As recently as the late 1980's, China and India had roughly equivalent GDP, and now China's GDP exceeds India's by a factor of 5. As even John Oliver reluctantly admitted in one of his China-bashing sessions, it's one of the few countries where survey data reveals that the public is optimistic about the future, precisely because of the sustained growth that has been delivered over the decades. Even the most respected American think tanks on China concede that the CPC has popular legitimacy and the public largely approves of their governance.

As for corruption, there is a significant, legitimate, and popular anti-corruption campaign in China which has prosecuted hundreds of thousands of officials. So they are dealing with that too.

As for trade, that's also silly. The US would also literally have an economic collapse tomorrow if all the cheap goods that its workers (who have had stagnant wages for 40+ years and now rely on debt to sustain consumption) receive from China were cut off. In today's globalized economy, no advanced economies could avoid being 'screwed' without trade.

You don't seem very informed about China.
