Certainly the US has more logistics experience in actual wars, but it's unclear whether it would matter that much in a US-China war.
A US-China war would most likely be fought in the South China Sea. Most of China's supply train would be moving through China, whereas most of the US's supply train would be moving half way around the world through open ocean. It's not clear why the lack of Chinese experience fighting overseas wars or the US's experience moving materiel through uncontested ocean against non-peer adversaries would apply here.
Remember, the last time the US fought a war without uncontested sea routes and naval superiority was WWII.
