It's the other way around retard. The west has been propped up by Chinese production of cheap goods. This allowed the western banking and finance systems to terminally degenerate western currencies and rip off their populations. Housing and food are now more expensive than gadgets, because housing and food are priced in the domestic currency, while made in china goods are priced in cheap as shit Yuan.
China doesn't need the west, it just needs the reserve currency to keep developing itself faster than the west does. It's the west now rushing to develop and build internally again to avoid that, and finding out their citizens aren't gonna buy 2000$ phones. Without 3rd world goods the western thefts from its citizens would get immediately exposed. In this way China knows that it wins. As long as it makes cheap goods the west keeps paying it. And if it stops the west will turn itself communist when people see their quality of life crater.
China's only danger is the west producing in Vietnam and India instead, but that also won't happen until China has the cheapest and best goods.
In fact this year the auto industry collapsed in the west because cars were priced in local currencies and expensive. Now that China is making usable cars at lower prices nations without car production are scooping them up instead of buying western and Japanese cars that used to be the only viable choice.
Just like Putin says that as long as he produces gas he will have buyers, China says that as long as they have the most competitive goods they will have whatever reserve currency there is too keep developing and growing.
Ironically China's one mistake has been trying to copy western banking. That's like trying to copy having cancer and the credit explosion almost DID collapse China through real estate excesses everyone knows about by now (ghost cities)
