At the rate their economy is growing while ours is stagnating/shrinking, it won't be long before we will be the second largest economy in the world.
FYI, even Cuba's GDP is also growing at a faster rate than ours is right now.
What Captain said about how China does business is spot on. I work in high tech and counterfeiting is a huge problem. Anything you build over there, they have the specs/plans/designs/etc for. Then they can then manufacture those things themselves, at a cheaper price, and they employ Chinese citizens to do it. And manufacturing it over here doesn't solve the problem either. Anything made here but exported there they can take apart and 'reverse engineer'. And good luck telling them they better crack down on the Chinese businesses doing the counterfeiting. When someone is loaning you money to pay your bills, you're in no position to tell them how to run their house.
