I don't think the US is capable of competing with a major power, like China. This is why they are using dirty tactics, like sanctions. Instead of working harder and competing with China, they are banning Chinese products, so they cannot compete with US products.
Instead of focusing on the US by building up infrastructure, maintaining the existing infrastructure which is falling apart, investing in education, putting billions of dollars into R&D, the US government is doing everything they can to hinder China's development.
Back in the 1980s, the US imposed all kinds of tariffs and sanctions against Japanese chip companies, Japanese automotive companies, and other Japanese firms. There was a lot of anti-Japanese sentiment, like there is a lot of anti-Chinese sentiment today.
The US is wasting hundreds of billions and have wasted trillions of dollars in wars, like Afghanistan, and Iraq which it did not win. The US currently has wasted 1/4 of a trillion dollars in Ukraine by providing arms to that country in a war that cannot be won. Trillions of dollars had been spent on wars, while the US government neglected its own people. The US didn't invest in its own people by improving the lives of people by playing the game of geopolitics and world empire. This is why empires in history fell, and the US is no exception to this rule.
