"Who is to say that China wouldn’t be willing to lend-lease them equipment to fight a proxy war against the west? China’s industrial capacity is already, like the US in the 1940s, the highest in the world."

In the event of an attempt to do so, the US would cut China's sea-borne oil pipeline from the Middle East, and shut their economy down. Russian output cannot replace their needs.

You are assuming that America’s ability to do this now will persist in the future. The Arab oil producers are already moving away from America politically. Crown Prince MBS won’t even return Biden’s calls which says a lot about the direction things are going in when it comes to America’s influence in the Middle East.

The current economic crisis caused by Biden’s incompetence is providing further impetus to move away from the Dollar as the world’s reserve currency and the ability to continue abusing it to spend levels of money that would cripple any other country may also see America forced to severely curtail the size of its military in coming years giving China the ability to catch up within 15-20 years.
