How would the "wealthy" in China have any money but for the low income workers?
It is not like there are a lot of easily exploitable natural resources.
Virtually all Chinese wealth has been created by low income workers adding value via manufacturing.
Incidently the Chinese explanation for the wealth of the US is that this particular piece of the planet is very rich in resources and any economic system would have worked here.
