This is silly.
The trade relationship between the US and China is much more complicated than that which existed with the USSR. China provides (for example) not just your clothes, but most of your PC motherboards...
And then too, you need I think, to show that the decline in the of the USSR was due to the US "crushing" them. This is not entirely self evident to me.
Thirdly, there are those in other parts of the world that look at Iraq and see it as a complete mess.
And fourthly, China is a country with billions of people. Their GDP growth was 10% last quarter I hear. Perhaps the US should mop up Iraq and balance the budget before trying to take China on.
