I think you are right to an extent. This is why the US gov is pushing for domestic chip fabs since that's pretty critical. I don't think they are really passing us yet, but I think their unified government could be an advantage. It is easier for them to push policy on a national level. Depends on how you measure it, but the US still leads in research universities and I think our public sector is healthy. The US does work with China and has a pretty healthy trade relationship with them which has worked well for China. Ideally for the US they will continue to be an important part of world affairs, but not at the expense of US interests.
