Not sure about that. On their current economic model, they thrive on being a substantial proportion of the world's manufacturing output. Then there's their political agenda which feeds their manufacturing agenda.

There probably is an economic model that they could develop that doesn't take Europe or the USA into account, but that will need transition, time and a non-restive public.
