You have a point about the tiresome 'Usa vs China' line in modern media.

But i think its fair to recognise China's technical capabilities are getting pretty amazing, and are accelerating. Which does contrast the previous western rhetoric of China being 'backwards and only capable of cheap knockoffs'.

Their science and engineering are getting really good tbh. And it is fair to recognise that.

I'll also BET that most of the relevant scientists from different nations have huge amounts of mutual respect for each other, and it's mostly the media/politics which is spinning this bs oppositional tone.
