Seeing a lot of where people stand and I agree; I do want to play devil’s advocate.
U.S military spending is ridiculous. Even for the levels of grift that occur, dear god is it ridiculous. I’d be more interested in the projects ready to be unleashed in the ghoul chambers if anything. Let us talk a minute for how brutally monstrous this nation is. Not even in just say, socio-economics or cultural or even our settler-colonial genocides. Just science. Look at the abysmal things we did to advance science before we recruited literal fucking Nazis to our academia. How we treated the mentally ill. After we recruited Nazis, look at the biological weapons programs that were rolled full-steam ahead in the 50s onwards. Operation Whitecoat, where they mention that similar studies still happen today.
What things do we not know that are buried deep where you have to drive out to bum-fuck, dry-ass nowhere with nothing but red sand, mountains and tall ass chollas and saguaros by a little abandoned rest-stop that has zero fucking record or address where you take an elevator 8 minutes down to maintenance tunnels connected to railways that span across the entire United States. Black Mesa isn’t real, but they sure do have things like it that have been being built and funded by exorbitant amounts of wealth in black documents for decades. Even billionaires had projects like this back in the 1800s. Rockefeller owned quite an interesting plot of land out here in New York smack-dab in the middle of a national park.
I do not doubt China would win, but thinking of the things that lurk in the depths of the Empire is quite terrifying. Ultimately, any war between them would be marked by mass death and limited engagement before either some form of stalemate is achieved or both nations go nuclear.

So we know massive private entities have been building compounds and various “sites” even before China existed.
