"Why isn't my empire self-sufficient!?" is the neoliberal self-own of the century. I'm practically rooting for China at this point.

You mean the country which disappears its own citizens for expressing doubt at their "leadership"?
Both the US and China does that kind of wetwork. Forgotten about the 1953 coup so soon? Abu Ghraib doesn't ring any bells?
What you're describing is a political deficiency and not an economic one. China is better at free market economics than America, which should be a wake-up call.
You have to admit that selling off the national strategic helium reserve was flawed. Let's not even talk about the public lands.
He specifically mentioned China. Why are you talking about the US?
...you're posting this in a thread about the US
China plays the neoliberal game harder than America, they're beating them at their own game. They're only communist in some aspects like strict top down food chain but their economy is very capitalist.
As a socialist I'm certainly not rooting for them.
