China doesn't build things to last, and often builds things very very quickly without longevity in mind. So, I would actually argue the opposite. That Chinese expenditures will likely go up a lot, while US expenditures will be flat. This is for various reasons, but mostly because the US is transitioning toward a remote work model, where in China (at least currently and for the foreseeable future) can't do that because their economy is so reliant on physical human labor. US cargo routes are actually near the most efficient in the entire world, and in the end...that is what a lot of the "wear and tear" comes from.
