If china shut down the US would be no more, so many of our products come from china and we don't have the infrastructure to make it ourselves. And prison camps? nope that is North Korea not China. And contaminated with heavy metals and poisonous air? (ok i will give you that one). But most western countries think that not the same as the U.S= poorly developed. They aren't poorly developed, just different. China practically owns the US and if it shut down today, by next week the US would be no more.
