Industrial level is lower in the US. Cost of living is inflated because it’s an imperialist country, and siphons vast sums of wealth to the imperial core. The US and Europe have hollowed out their productive capacity and shifted it all overseas. Goods are made in China for cheaper because industrialization is higher, as is productive capacity. Russia is heavily sanctioned, and largely produces for itself.
Spending 10 times as much does not mean you are getting 10 times as much out of it.
Chinese industry is some of the most advanced on the planet. I use US as an example, because industrial output is lower. Your list is measured in terms of dollars, not actual goods and output.
No, not “next to,” at this point China has surpassed the US and Europe in manufacturing in all but a few specialized fields.
Secondly, saying that NATO can’t field war against Russia doesn’t mean that NATO can’t try, or that Russia would single-handedly destroy all of NATO. Russia would win like Vietnam won against the US, by NATO failing to accomplish their goals without nuclear war.
If it was China and Russia against NATO, it would similarly be devastating for all involved, but NATO wouldn’t succeed in crushing Russia and China without nuclear war.

Keep in mind that while chinese industry produces a lot it is not necessarily the most advanced.

Yes next to america and europe. Your original claim i’m reply to is that “NATO can’t field an actual war against Russia”.
If you want we can compare NATO and russia/china combined and see who has the strongest army and biggest war capabilities.
