The US economy is exceptionally weak and volatile. China's economy, at least at the present, is vibrant and strong. It'll remain so due to the style of government, which will forceably keep wages and working conditions low. As the US's welfare, education and medical systems continue to fall apart, the needy will slip through the cracks, and drug, alcohol and crime abuse will rocket. It's not if, it's when. The wealthy in the US will never give up their power, and would rather go down and take the rest of the nation with them, than give it up.
I'm not a fan of capitalism, it encourages greed, it encourages a lack of sharing, and it encourages a lack of empathy for your fellow humans. Money becomes such an all central, important goal that many other things get elbowed out of the way. Worse, those with money fail to realise how much damage they do to others.
