We could pull a 19th century Russia move and sell them Kali-fornia and Ore-gone.

If China puts the US economy down the plughole, it will be committing suicide. Chinas economy is very linked to the US, if one falls, the other will. Furthermore, the US can recover quicker than China can from such a fall. So, the US is actually in a better position than most think.
