Yes. China and America (aka Chimerica) love each other.

Controllers' lens after the 90s:

US wants:
- cheap imports,
- suppressed goods inflation,
- someone to buy endless Treasuries,
- geopolitical leverage over industrial chains.

China wants:
- export-led growth,
- technology & capital inflows,
- time to build domestic capacity and surveillance apparatus,
- a way to turn sweat + coal into reserves and gold.

So the deal (often framed as "globalization" in official language) is:
- US prints high-quality paper (USTs, Agencies, USD bank liabilities).
- China prints low-wage labor, exports, and real goods.
- China recycles the USD surplus back into US paper.
