I think the USA and the West would still love to hear the showboating that China is still far behind in the high-end chips area and will take another ten years to catch up. Well, China is undoubtedly unfazed by all the hyping, with all the questioning and answering done by the Western media and analysts.
What does it matter when China can make all the money just leveraging on legacy chips? If China can spend a little money to improve its chip design and upgrading, well and good. No need to fork out an arm and a leg to compete in the high-end chips sector. That will come naturally sooner or later. It is the same with development. A country can develop faster, but others can still catch up in time. Just look around and you will understand.
So, I think China is not going to follow or compete with the USA blindly. China does what is best for its people and not what the USA thinks it should do for the USA's interest by pouring money into doing unnecessary things for egos sake. China learnt its lesson from the collapse of the Soviet Union trying to compete militarily against the USA and hollowed out itself.

Military wars are all that is left for the USA to fight against others. But China's sanctioning of rare earth is putting a damper over how much more can the USA leverage on its military advantage. Oops, sorry I forgot that the USA is also still tops in 'propaganda wars', with all the MSM under its control and the billions needed to fund them.
But it looks like even the propaganda war of the USA is losing its credibility fast, with social media countering all the lies day in and day out. Which is why getting rid of Tik Tok is deemed so important and relentless. But outside of the USA, there is nothing it can do with Tik Tok continuing with the exposure. Just keeping the USA users ignorant and dumb is the only purpose of the takeover. Exposing the mistake of its enemy is not what China wants to do anyway.
Having said that, foreign visitors to China are doing a great service countering the propaganda war by exposing all the lies created over several decades against China. Not to mention all the billions poured into building up a fake facade that is collapsing fast and furious. Rednote in particular has done massive damage to the propaganda machine of the USA by exposing real life issues within a matter of months. Soon, it will be taken to task as well, but what is the problem when the damage is already done.
China knows how to counter all the lies by just giving free visas for foreigners from more countries to go to China to see the reality. China does not even have to spend hundreds of millions a year to do the necessary countering and is even reaping in all the financial benefits of such foreigners spending money in China to help its economy.
On the other hand, Trump is charging visitors golden visa fees to visit USA, chasing away all foreign visitors so much so that the USA tourist sector is collapsing. Golden visas and all that hype are just baloney. Trump may know much in receiving 'golden showers', but 'golden visas' do not endear to foreign travelers.
Four words - Man proposes, God disposes.
An attack on Iran is imminent. The meeting between Trump and Netanyahu in Washington is all about setting the date.
