> China is definitely a greater strategic rival than Russia
I'm not sure what this has to do with my comment. China's "rivalry" with us might translate into acts of aggression, or it might not. It depends on their leadership.
At this point, I've never seen anything to suggest that China is actively trying to destabilize the US, interfere directly with its elections, or incite culture wars. Russia is doing all of these things.
I have seen evidence[1] that countries including China are trying to maintain access to our utilities as a future weapon, but that's not the same as Russia actually attacking us (digitally).

I recommend reading more on this subject. one interesting book is "Destined for War: Can America and China Escape Thucydides's Trap?" by Graham Allison. (Recommended by Joe Biden, and Lloyd Blankfein)
