TBH, I think it's worse than that. I think that forces want to split the United States into many pieces, similar to what happened in Yugoslavia.
For instance, Serbia is next door to Croatia, but the median income is half as much.
China cannot beat the United States militarily. But if the United States was smashed into pieces, China would gain world dominance.
For instance, if California or New York we're an independent country, they would cozy up with China immediately.
At the same time, breaking the United States into pieces would basically turn the Midwest into a rural area focused on the production of food. The Midwest would no longer benefit from the revenue generated by the coasts, and the defense that it affords.
And keep in mind that this has already played out in our lifetimes; Yugoslavia was split into pieces just 25 years ago.
