The 1950s-1970s scientific achievements of white males was made possible through exclusion of women, minorities and foreign ideas.

This was great for white men in a time where you didn't need to be internationally competitive and you were already ahead so you could set the standards. And they were ahead because they were untouched by WW2.

It doesn't work when you are behind and following the standards of others. For that you need to humble yourself and learn.

will that happen? I don't think so. It is a proven fact that white males show increased aggression and insubordination to females and Asian leaders in the workplace.

Women hardly got Phd/Masters in Science and Engineering so i am not sure who will appoint them as bosses for managing scientific breakthroughs. even your example show small salary people. US untill year 2000 completely dominated by domestic graduates and they should have command untill now if they have not than its other reason.
the only other country who pushed so many female onto Science is Iran but that is much bigger failure.

The fundememtal difference between China and US, or rather between China and the entire western world, is China has more than a millenia of mertiocratic tradition, while the weste has the same amount of theocratic fedual tradition.

Modern political systems are really just wrapper on cultural traditions, Chinese tradition always believed in postpriori knowledge, that is result based determination of a person's value, while western tradition always believed in a priori knowledge, that is a person's value derives through birth or promises.

US cant actually replicate China's model, because for state involvememt to be successful, officials of the state must be competent, and western culture inherently do not believe competency is required for power, never did and never will.

At end of the day not all civilizations are equal, over the last few centuries the west benifited from their religion fueled psycopathic need for conqust in a world where others did not, but now that they lost their abilility to steal, not that they're not still trying, they fundementally lack the civilizational attribute to compete with superior civilizations.
Modern Western political and philosophical tradition traces its lineage back to the times of the Greek and Roman civilizations much more than from the feudal period of Dark Age / Middle Age Europe. It is extremely naive to think that over several thousand years of human history, only the Chinese civilization realized the value of meritocracy. The fundamental challenge faced by any society or state is how to maintain a functional meritocracy over successive generations, as over time, a meritocracy naturally devolves into a plutocracy or some form of aristocracy. If you study any of the great Chinese dynasties (Han, Tang, Song, Ming), you see that every dynasty begins with land/wealth redistribution and centralization of power. Over time, some families, along with certain factions / groups that may vary depending on the dynasty, but generally consisting of eunuchs, consort families, military governors, wealth merchant families etc, will gain increasing amounts of wealth/land and power over successive generations. Near the end of the dynasty, you have wealth/power concentrated in the hands of these families/groups and away from the state and the people. These families/groups will then focus their attention and efforts at struggling with one another to further increase their own wealth and power, to the detriment of the rest of society and the state. Ultimately, the dynasty collapses and the cycle starts anew.

I agree with pretty much all these things, but I still think that there's a marked difference between the vitality of those years and the US of today. I would believe that that old US would be able to put in a national effort to accomplish great tasks, and I don't think that's possible any more.
Immediately prior to WW2, the US underwent the Great Depression, which was a form of wealth redistribution. This created the conditions for US growth of the 50's and 60's, the decades that gave rise to the idea of the, "American Dream." However, within the span of just one or two generations, wealth has once again become concentrated into the hands of the few, and the economy has become heavily financialized and stagnant. It would be impossible for the US of today to recreate the conditions of the 50's and 60's, barring some form of total economic reset.

To reiterate the point, the moment the US goes to war with China it will end up like Imperial Japan, the next 2 years will only make that even clearer than it is right now.
Except their MIC is stockpiling all the rare earths they need from China, and greedy hanjian sellout business people are submitting fraudulent export documentation to make it happen. Max 5 years in prison if sentenced for this. It should be guaranteed life in prison.

The other aspect is that the rare earths are what the oil and steel embargo the US did on Japan before US entry into WW2 was, the moment the rare earths restrictions goes hermetic in effect is precisely the moment the US will attempt a preemptive strike.

Looks like the US wants guarantees that their Japanese and Australian cannon fodder will fully commit to war with China.

The Trump regime has zero respect for its minions. While the American regime itself will remain "strategically ambiguous", they are forcing their lackeys to disclose their true intentions.

Yet Trump is claiming that the "Epstein Files" were written by Obama and Hillary Clinton.

I agree. A limited export volume should be maintained for the sake of peace and dependency. But the issue is the quantities supposedly being exported are triple those in 2024. In other words, more than sufficient to build strategic reserves such that it removes China's leverage entirely.
