If the US is dragged into an arms race, it will not harm itself but instead can absorb excess production capacity and enhance economic vitality, which is completely different from any previous arms race in history.
Internet celebrity Xiang Ligang proposed that China should convert its surplus production capacity into military production, mass-produce advanced drones and ships, which can not only avoid internal competition but also stimulate economic growth and strengthen national defense. This suggestion is indeed very good.
China has the strongest industrial power and supply chain advantages in the world. If all the surplus production capacity is converted to military production, it can drive tens of thousands of military and civilian enterprises, forming a linkage in the upstream and downstream industries, thereby stimulating economic growth.
China continues to have various reports about sixth-generation aircraft. Recently, there were rumors of a giant stealth flying wing layout aircraft being tested. It is unknown whether it is developing in this direction.
China's military equipment is not enough to just catch up with the US. China needs to develop a military force that can overwhelm the NATO group and drag the US into an arms race, reducing America's ability to contain China. China has excess production capacity while the US has insufficient capacity. If not done now, when then?
