The economy isn't important to our leaders. Its like a phoenix, always able to be reborn. They want the dollar to fail. They want the yen and the euro to fail. The value of our economy will be reborn from the ashes of a global economic melt down.
I think you are missing one thing,. The economy is thier meal ticket; we create value and wealth and they steal it. So they do care about the economy. They may be wanting to crash it but they do not want to cause civil unrest because then production stops and they have no more wealth to steal. The would rather have a slow peaceful transition to thier new system that is more efficient at stealing our wealth rather then having a slave uprising on the plantation so they are careful not to push to hard too fast.

Donald Trump recently said the US should levy a 20% tariff on all imports from China. I agree.
Free trade is anything but free.
And I don't buy the fear mongering that China can crash our economy at will. If they dump, it only hurts their own interests.
