China is in a rough spot.
In order to transition into a high technology society (and compete with the US), they need to educate their population. An educated population is dangerous to their current form of government since the people will want a much higher standard of living then what they currently get.
Trying to build a middle class in China will cripple their economy if it is not handled properly. It will be fascinating to watch how China handles this situation. The scale of the problem dwarfs any issue America has.
