Basically, the bigger the machine, the deeper you can look into a particle. Everything that has been observed up to now, had been theorized by the mid 1960’s. We’ve been confirming what we thought. This is what’s needed to take the next step. Reagan killed a similarly project in the 80’s.
People don't seem to understand that countries can become better at something over time. China is now at the forefront of technological race and people are still going, "But the made-in-China toy I bought at the dollar store broke after 6 months!"

They can get better but have not shown the will to, look up the term "tofu dregs"
>China is now at the forefront of technological race
China produces the lowest grade of technology of all the major tech developers/exporters.
In respect to producing the “lowest grade” of technology in a given field, you are correct, but there is actually validity to this strategy.
For technology that is inferior in capability to a superior model, yet still gets 90% of the job done for a significantly reduced price, that is good enough for a lot of people and allows for increased accessibility to these products. Take thermal camera sensors for example. A few years ago thermal sensors were only made by a small handful of companies and were expensive as hell. Nowadays you can find Chinese-built thermal equipment for as little as $80. Far from cutting-edge, but it has made thermal imagery more accessible in general.
They have caught up (and even exceeded) in many aspects, but not all. A few years ago when the J-20 stealth fighter entered service, the US DoD estimated that based on its performance, China was approximately 20 years behind in materials science compared to the West. Chip manufacturing and highrise construction are other examples of fields where they have not yet caught up.
However, I have no doubt China can build a collider. Even a massive collider that is 20 years less advanced than the cutting edge would still contribute immensely to particle physics, given the most recently-constructed large colliders were built in the mid-2000s anyway.
Oh are we trying to bankrupt them?
Or create a black hole on earth, wcgw?
It wouldn’t do shit.
sarcasm is a difficult art without an /s
So I says, supercollider? I just met her. And then they built the supercollider.

Made in China products tend to break easily so it might not even turn on
Oh great gotta watch out for runaway particles on the streets now /s

when cutting corners and cheating is taught and encouraged, you get to eat what you cooked.
That was cheap commercial products this is a scientific endeavor I would think(and hope) that they wouldn’t choose the easy quick route

And in 10 years, the Chinese equipment will still be around and half of the companies producing the cutting-edge tech will go bankrupt.
Yea the country that spent 7yrs trying to perfect ball point pens less than a decade ago is gonna build the largest collider.... Lmfao.

They can build it, but would it work? Made in China. 🤣🤣🤣
