Yes, FDI. You can't get trillions to build infrastructure through trade - takes too long and you need the infrastructure for the trade.

Clearly China does not meet IMF and WTO requirements, but that did not deter investors. Today, Bank of America announced it is considering a substantial investment in a large Chinese Bank in the range of $14B. This doesn't concern you?
And you think you know something they don't. No, it doesn't concern me, it makes me wish I had money to invest.

I am not looking for the “boogeyman” as you put it.
Yes, you are. Read your posts in this thread again and tell me you're not with a straight face. Again, what do you want done about China? You have listed all your fears, what do you want us to do to/about/on/at them?

You honestly think any one country can economically strangle the US?

I agree China will falter. The question is how hard, how far will the reverberations be felt and how will they react. I see a lot of parallels to the market today and the status of globalisation in 1914.
Interesting that you say that. What was our response in 1914 and what was the result? Even a little before that.
