To play devil’s advocate, one side is political indicators whereas the other side is economic indicators. I see what the image is trying to say but it would be much better to compare the same thinga in both countries.
Both are political indicators. China made a political decision to develop in a particular way, to invest in technology, develop infrastructure, and so on. It’s also worth noting that public sector plays a dominant role in Chinese economy, meaning that where labor is directed is ultimately a political decision. Meanwhile, US politics predominantly focus on different types of things.
I don’t think you can meaningfully untangle Politics from the Economy, hence why the term Political Economy exists.
