I'm sure China managed to catch up in some of the fields but I doubt all of them.

And if you could guarantee that they'll never catch up in the others, we'd all feel a bit better about the permanency of American superiority.

Absent that guarantee, we need to bench test those scenarios and be prepared with plans that best serve American interests should those scenarios come to fruition.

I read “Rich Dad Poor Dad” and apparently debt is a great thing… My “poor” Dad just never thought me this
