I like to call this one "Chinese goalposts".

China might have a larger economy, but they're still behind on GDP per capita.
Chinese might have higher IQs than Europeans and Americans, but that's the non-creative, non-innovative type of IQ.
Chinese movies might gross more than their east asian counterparts, but that's only because of patriotism.

etc.
Let's just give him a win for once, and list the things the US wins in. I'll start.

In contrast, you know who has the best soft power, as originally defined? Ukraine.

Ukraine has no movie, music, or TV industry that people outside CIS care about. Zelensky was an actor yet his movie was tiny by global standards.

Yet Ukraine is able to force much richer and bigger countries to behave according to Ukrainian interests, without either paying them or having the military ability to coerce them.

I call that soft power.
His movie is actually one of the biggest ongoing movies in human history, if not the biggest, if you count the youtube, twitter, telegram and other social media shorts, many of which are posted on this forum.

Current gross (and counting): 40B USD
