He means economically. And he's right. China has billions of dollars invested in the US. If they were to suddenly pull it all out, we would, and this is a gross understatement, be fucked. HOWEVER, it must be said that their economy depends on us just as much as ours depends on theirs. It would be extremely unwise for them to collapse our economy, because it would collapse theirs as well. In addition, ours would recover tremendously faster than theirs because of the nature of our economy.
In regards to China being communist: They are OFFICIALLY communist, and you will see this if you were to examine the rural areas of China. However, in the urban areas of the country free enterprise is actually flourishing. This is why their economy is growing so rapidly. If they were to abolish their collective farms, we would have a much bigger problem on our hands...
