The change is being expedited. A culture change has been required and it is being implemented. If you worry about China V. US, you need to rethink.
I'll assume this is based on your extensive military service.
And I'll assume you are the kind of "Our stuff is the best there is, and our tactics are the only ones that matter, 'cause we're the Uhmuricans!!!" lunkhead who had us send Brewster Buffaloes against Zeroes, water cooled M1917 machine guns against MG42s, Mark 14 torpedoes that did not work up against the Imperial Japanese Navy's long lance torpedoes, and equipped our forces in Korea with bazookas that could not penetrate the front of T34. Oh, yeah, and whose bean counter approach to war has not seen us win one, in the real sense of imposing our will on another nation, and not in the "look at how much of the other guy's stuff we blowed up" sense, since 1945.
Who knows. Maybe our low production numbers, incredibly expensive, wonderwaffe won't be taken out by $2,000 ChiCom drones dropping $45 explosive charges when they emerge from shipping containers. Maybe the ChiComs won't bring the country to a halt by taking down the internet.
Maybe. I hope so, if it comes to that. Be sure to post a message deriding my concerns when CINPAC COMPACFLT forces the ChiComs to sign a surrender on the deck of a US Aircraft Carrier anchored in Shanghai.
