You ask why did he say the collective West can’t hold a candle to Russia/ China?

Re Russia:

There is not really any there there. Russian prosperity was created by western companies. When they left, the prosperity left with them.

The Russian people lack the wherewithal to exist in the modern world

Not sure how you Northern Bud Lite drinkers define losing, but that ain't it.
