    Such an American way of framing it as if this is some big competition. They’re going to throw so many resources into worrying about what China is doing instead of just fixing their own problems.

      as if this is some big competition.

      Wasn’t that always the case? “Space race” and all that. It was never about exploration or new discoveries, it was about “beating them dang godless commies!”

      They don’t percieve their own problems as problems though. They consider their problem to be the rest of the world don;t wanting to be looted and imperialised. The resolution is to make them stop resisting.

      fixing their own problems.

      The US bourgeoisie’s own problem is the declining rate of profit. Fixing it (temporarily) means more exploitation and imperialism, sold through propaganda.
