"Why is it a problem if China develops a higher GDP than the US"

That isn't the issue.

The issue is protectionist policies and direct interference by the state in all sectors.

They can do that if they want, but we need to slap tariffs on their products and ban some Chinese companies from selling in the West.

Why, the US is richer for being able to import Chinese products. The victims of the proteccionist policies are the chinese people, that are forced to consume worse products, or at a higher price, or paid with their taxes.

Its like saying "my neighbor is stabbing himself, we should stab ourselves so they learn!"
