China has survived more than five thousand years of internal strife, famine, dynasty changes, civil wars, earthquakes, floods and ideological struggles and is still standing. How could Gordon Chang's musing in his little book hope to collapse China is a mystery. He is still trying to sell his snake oil today, after more than twenty years of trying.
Today, the USA is using trade war, technology war and tariff war in another strategy hoping to collapse China. Little did the USA realized this is making China even stronger unwittingly. China's total export to the USA is a mere 3% of its GDP and taking this out is like a mosquito bite on an elephant. How is that supposed to collapse the elephant? China's total export to the whole world is more than US$3.51 trillion and China can survive even cutting off all exports to the USA. That is not a problem of survival of China without the USA.
Trade war is already shown to be unable to bring China to its knees, since Trump's first term. On the contrary that was the wakeup signal for China to be independent of the USA. The talk of decoupling had been used to instill fear in the Chinese, but when the USA found that it will backfire badly, they tried to wriggle out of the decoupling mantra and tried a new 'de-risking' name to musk its miscalculation. Now, decoupling is a taboo word, with USA leaders saying that decoupling is not on the cards. China must not take the words of USA leaders at face value. They will always lie, cheat and steal. It is in their DNA. Just watch on Youtube the behavior of the White House spokesperson dishing out unbelievable, fictitious and out of this world answers to difficult questions.
Techology war is also not moving ideally for the USA going forward, with China already neck and neck in AI and now able to produce 3 nanometer chips, which makes even Jensen Huang nervous. The USA is trying to force countries not to use such chips or face sanctions, using the same arm-twisting tactic as always to win an argument, when it fails to overcome a competitor.
Now, the tariff war is already unravelling, with few countries taking up the arse kissing offer. Who wants to bear the stigma of being subjected to a degrading act and be humiliated for life. Only the sycophants did that to please its master.

You can fool most people all the time (the Native American Indians), some people most of the time (the Europeans) but not all people all the time (the Russians, Chinese and Africans).
Now the USA is pushing the Europeans to spend at least 5% of their GDP on defense. To prepare for war with Russia?
This shows the naivety of the Europeans, sacrificing national interests to help to prop up the US hegemony and ensure it survives. What did they get now? A 50% tariff as a gift from Trump. The USA has no morals, only interest. When that ends, everything goes under the bus.
Even politicians have short memories. Putin has forgotten who started the Ukraine War. He also forgot that the Americans imposed the mother of all sanctions to cripple Russia. Now he is talking to Trump like a love bird.
They said that Putin controls Trump or has some leverage over Trump. Some even claimed that Trump is a Russian asset, LOL.
