Well there is a counter argument that once the US were able to mass produce LRHW Dark Eagle and Typhoon, and subsequently surround China with hundreds of these weapons alongside Virginia class and B1Bs
First of all, Typhoon is not a type of missile, but a ground based missile launcher that fires tomahawk and SM6. The first one is laughably obsolete already, and the second one was not a dedicated anti ship solution and is easily interceptable by PLAN SAMs. LRHW deployment number is way too slow with only 3 batteries by end of 2027. The number game is never in your favor against China.

Given recent developments, it is the US, not China, that needs to play catch up in most but 2 major programs (nuclear subs and strat bombers). But we do not see catch up, we see accelerated deceleration. There is certainly not a so called 2027 local maximum of capability advantage anymore. And it has already become "the longer China waits, the more military advantage it has" over AR.
