I would think that the correct strategy for competing with enormous Asian tech companies is to have fierce competition and antitrust regulation in the US. It seems unlikely that a US company can do big better than a Chinese/Asian company. And at any rate, it’s certainly better for US consumers to have competition, and that’s ultimately what matters, not any notional ideas of “winning” against China.

I agree with all of this except the last sentence.

“Winning” against China isn’t just some notional idea. Like it or not, being globally competitive matters for the overall health of the US economy.
