The US has a huge advantage with its top reserve currency status. I do wonder how isolated the US is from China's problems. It seems like so far it hasn't had much of an impact on the US, but it's hard to imagine failures in the second-largest economy of the world not having some sort of domino effect.

"Growth at all costs" is the fiscal policy of the US as well, what's the difference between the US and China in this regard? If it's a matter of government intervention, let's not forget the ridiculous amount of money pumped into the market thanks to actions from the fed. The interest rate has been increased after such a long time of near-zero rates, but there is already begging for rate cuts.
