By lobbying the government to coordinate a slowdown "for safety." Obviously, Chinese labs won't and will therefore will pull ahead.
There is no scenario where they could realistically stop R&D. One solution would be to have the American taxpayer pay for R&D, sold as staying ahead in the AI arms race: so I'm expecting such lobbying attempts any month now. Hopefully the recently elected representatives follow through on their promises to represent their constituents.
