Anyone with a decent handle on the actual reality would respect what the Chinese can do.
Remember, the Germans had “superior technology” and sneered at the Americans that could only churn out appliances and cheap crap in WW2. How did that end, again?
but...sounds like you’re kind of afraid of the chinee...

The Germans were ahead of us in certain technologies, missles, rocketry, jet engines, tanks, come to mind. Problem was though, German economy didn’t have the band-with, scale, to deliver in meaningful numbers. Additionally, they didn’t know how best to strategically apply these technology. Also, there was (still is) German tendency to over engineer.
But, we had superiority in certain key areas; we were and still are masters of logistics and projecting power. We developed it during our civil war and continued to improve the technology. No country comes even close to us. In part, this is made possible by the strength of our economy.
Also, we are the only country that has the ability to build a working aircraft carrier. I could go on but my finger is tired. But, I think I’ve given the idea.
One last comment; I’ve never understood why we didn’t upgrade the Sherman tank with a Diesel engine. We did introduce the Sheridan which was basically an upgraded Sherman at the tail-end of WWII but the war was basically over by then.
