I think that's why Chinese leadership want to separate themselves from the west, because they don't want western-style capitalism to influence their country, and end up negotiating economic advantages with developed countries. That's what state-capitalism is all about.
I think they want to have both the benefits of isolationism, and the benefits of exports.
Ultimately it's very easy to play with anti-US views. Much easier to blame the US than to blame the chinese government. For example the vietnam war, iraq war or japan nukes might sound much worse than the tiananmen square for a chinese.
But in the long run, a country like china should be able to catch up with how late they have developed. I believe they have excellent human capital. Not sure if they will be able to compete in very high tech fields, but they might one day.
