This race will never end, but we will have minimum deterrence that is all we need. We are not in race. Russia is getting back to work, it lacked money which in some case we are providing.
And the US is focusing on China now because its GDP is already to surpass that of that of Japan. Japan in the 80s what touted as a country that can overtake the US in economy. However, it faltered. Japan seek to be the #1 auto manufacture. But it doesn't seek to be the #1 auto consumer. Japan finally become the #1 automobile manufacturer in mid 2000s. China just surpass US as the #1 automobile market this year. Its also projected to overtake Japan as the #1 manufacturer this year. For 100 years, US was the #1 consumer and producer. Japan become the #1 producer in mid 2000s and china is set to become #1 in these two categories. Furthermore, Chinese consumption and production, is growing at the current rate, will require it to import a lot more cars very, very fast. This is the reason that the US won't want to restrict Chinese imports too much because it doesn't want the US companies to miss out on the Chinese market.
With a fast increase in wealth, China will be able to rapidly increase its technology research and so it will grow faster.
