Well there may have been 10-15 years ago, I don't think the choices left are ones most Americans want..
(There may be others, variants of the two, but if there are more, viable alternatives I would certainly like to hear them)
1.) Is to simply acquiesce and perhaps even participate, do what is in the best interest of the American consumers.
2.) Resist what everyone is calling the Chinese Century &/or actively subvert/sabotage~ up to & including hostile military operations in opposition.
3.) ?
"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."
Agreed, it worked out for some, while others where just copied & dumped.. (copying having a different meaning there)
In the past I thought the same, that perhaps we could make some changes but I now know that isn't an option (@ least that I can see coming about).....
Our systems are not to variants of capitalism, in fact, they say they are not capitalist. @ least not in the sense we traditionally understand in the west, & I believe they are correct.
Hierarchically structured differently~ in the Chinese system the party is over all, PERIOD.. Then you have the business classes (government/hybrid/private) & corporations subservient to them, & then you have the ppl..
In the USA you have the rich/corporations, then the government & then the ppl.......
THoughts???

I was listening to a Professor in Singapore giving a lecture & he said there is no war, China is way a head & would remain so.
He went on to say essentially they are so far ahead that saying China is stealing is ludicrous because the US/western tech is already behind what they are doing...
I don't necessarily agree w/ that but I do think he made a good point about the advancements in CHina..

They have 68 countries signed up & on board.....
Our leader is calling another world leader nasty..
He has no plan, he can't even get a wall built & Mexico was even paying for it......... ............
They are building bridges everywhere, including to our allies, while we are burning bridges to them..... I DON'T SEE HOW THAT MAKES AMERICA GREAT AGAIN..

seems fairly simple........they have half the people in the world..........as their per capita spending increases they will be the dominant consumers........

Jack: Their Stock trades on the NYSE and NASDAQ. Baidu and Tencent jump to mind. In my view, they have adopted 'Free Markets' but with a joint ownership of the national government.
My Thoughts?
America should form a 'NASA-like' joint venture with Silicon Valley and the US Government. Combining the unlimited purchasing power of the US Government, the expertise of Corporate America, and all the Brain Power of the R&D Departments of the Nation's Universities. Create a Vision of 'Technical Superiority for Western Democracies'.
America used to do this. NASA and the 'Moon Race' come to mind. The Panama Canal comes to mind. I think it's just recently that a group of Bluntskulls mutter "That's socialism" every time some idea comes up that involves the Government and Industry.
