To be great again needs hard work and dedication, not mere shouting of slogans. That is just for winning votes, which is a blatant waste of time and energy. And politicians can promise the moon and the stars before an election but conveniently forgets about those promises afterwards.
And that is one reason for the failure of democracy attempting to provide freedom of choice by giving voters a choice. The irony is being given a Hobson's Choice that fooled the voters for decades.
Progress does not come easy for China. There was much planning, good insight about which are the potential growth sectors and having done that, procure the resources, educate and train the workers for the specific sector being prioritized. It is not a game of trying one's luck or quick picking of winners.
China already won the game of dominating by picking the right sectors and choices and the USA is just trying to play catchup from scratch. There will be lots of catching up to do for the USA, even if it tried, and even if it drags all its allies and doggies to help with all hands to the pump.
Trying to accuse China of copying when China is already ahead in various sectors does not hold water. Is there a necessity to copy outdated systems and technology when one is already ahead? China had been cut off from progress in many sectors by the West, but China perseveres and rose from the ashes.
China's rise also did not come about by just trying to push others down so it can go on top. This is unlike the USA that had to push down the rise of Germany and Japan. Now the USA is sacrificing the whole of Europe to satisfy its greed, by using NATO to decimate Russia as well. It is killing two birds with one stone. The USA has over-rated itself by biting off more than it can chew.
