Gotta wonder the point behind all of these "China does a thing better than the U.S." stories is.

Are we in some sort of competition with China? I mean more so than usual.

    It shows that China is challenging the American hegemony and America's cultural clout is decreasing. Whether it's a competition is in the eye of the beholder. Articles saying "China is outpacing the US in whatever" are making the observation that America, a nation that's used to banking on its reputation for being a top tier innovator in everything from tech to entertainment, is losing that ability if not straight up giving it away.
