The first answer is simple: Chinese industry is unmatched in the world. It operates an independent, self-sufficient production line, perhaps unlike any other nation. It can manufacture more weapons – and do so faster – than any other competitor.
The second answer is unclear. Some experts say Chinese costs are a fraction of US costs; others are doubtful. It depends on how the calculations are made—including what incentives are factored in and their details. If Chinese costs are significantly lower than American ones, the US is in big trouble. If they are roughly the same or higher, China could be in trouble.
