OP should probably ask (but they won't), how can US slow down China's help to Russia's terrible war on Ukraine, or theft of valuable IP in the free world, or increased aggression against Taiwan and Philippines
> can US slow down China's help to Russia's terrible war on Ukraine
If anyone actually wanted to do anything about this "terrible war", they wouldn't using peace agreements as a mean to prepare for war. If Ukraine and it's alies knowingly and willingly made a bet with peoples lives and then kept doubling down on "ceasefire is not an option" - it's only their fault for suffering the consequence and absolutely no one (including China) owes anyone any help in saving their face.
Objective reality exists. No one is going to fall in line with US-centric fake moralizing, based to denying agency to everyone except guys under that flag we don't like.
Not op, but I'm anti-IP. I couldn't care less for IP "theft" (ridiculuos concept it being. if two people share each an idea, they both now have two ideas. no material property is being destroyed). And as for R&D output, China already outpaces U.S. in many key sectors. Take a look at Nature's top science cities list. #1 is Beijing. Perhaps U.S. should steal some ideas of the Chinese, such as effective central planning in transportation projects (high speed rail, metro lines), transmission lines (HVDC) or energy projects (nuclear).
