As long as the US continues winning the economic/political game it doesn't matter what country builds X weapon that (perhaps) the US doesn't have (yet). It doesn't really make sense for China/Russia to try and compete with the US militarily - need only ask the Soviet Union how that turned out. They need to compete on the economic/political level and they are still half a century away from having the clout the US has, regardless of who might occupy the Executive.
