    To add to this, the US military has not been able to make successful hypersonic missiles. China has, and that's quite a game changer. Because of that it can be reasonably argued that China is already on a better footing militarily than the US. Granted "on better footing" could mean a lot of things, like China doesn't have military bases dotting the entire globe. Similar to your point though, that can become as much a liability as an advantage for a dying empire.
