I mean by what economic measure would America be ahead in 2025?

The only thing I can think of is space payload capacity and large commercial aviation.

Which admittedly China must fix at some point but it's mostly due to institutional inertia (especially for commercial aircraft). And China can continue to use its commanding economic and industrial lead to overwhelm US companies with sheer resources.

The gap between China and US isn't as big as it was between the US and USSR, but it's still pretty noticeable. An isolated lead in commercial aviation doesn't make US an overall more powerful economy, just as USSR's lead in rocketry did not make them overall more powerful.

Even in fields where it is leading like aviation greedy executive suite for Boeing is eroding the advantage.

I'm feeling that China is laying the groundwork to kick US out of commercial aircraft as well. Boeing is getting battered with scandals and Airbus won't be going anywhere when Europe can't fix it's energy issues.

I don't think all of Boeing's issues are all coincidence. Yeah their workforce has been degraded but it doesn't explain some of the colossal fuck ups. Plus consider that China itself is 100% unafraid of using Boeing jetliners. It's almost like the Boeing planes themselves are fine as long as they're not tampered with/properly maintained.
