So the only question really is whether they're arranging things so that as China becomes the clear world leader in the coming era, the US will be relegated to being a bankrupt has-been, clinging to outdated technology nobody else wants any more because their explicit goal is to destroy the US or just because they're some stunning combination of corrupt and stupid.

I lean toward the latter, but can't entirely discount the former.
