To do that ideally we need more people.
The US has only a mere 350 million people. China has over a billion EXTRA.
As Rommel is reputed to have said: "God is on the side of the big battalions." There is really no contest between China and the US. China has more men of military age, more STEM graduates, and more manufacturing capacity than the US. In fact China has more of those than all of the West combined. ('West' = 5 eyes plus Europe and Japan)
