Summary is very significantly understated. China is very far ahead in robotics, and AI is at least on par. Manufacturing and construction being far ahead makes everything important far ahead. Military production capacity and "military tech value", where quantity is quality, has China far ahead.
From summary, this is denial meant to spur more government investment in a competition that is already lost using a corrupt US oligarchist model of privatized profit enhancement without any concern for produced value.
While I don't disagree, I think talking about the corrupt oligarchist model as if it isn't matched (if not outclassed) by the CCP's control and surveillance in China feels disingenuous.
Correction: both are bad. The only good outcome is where neither the US nor China is a lone superpower, but instead they both compete economically, driving innovation and improvement for the rest of the world to enjoy.
