I don't support the idea of a war. I do support the idea of the US improving it's security posture, and improving its own possibility of success.

Make getting into and out of key industrial facilities more difficult for the unauthorized, both physically and digitally. Enhanced background checks on employees who have access to critical technology.

Expand those security requirements to international technology partners. If it's a race, incentivize partners to support our interests.

China does all of these things. If you would consider the US bad for doing so as well, how would you consider China for being better at it?

Nobody is suggesting that we invade Chinese factories. But suggesting we secure our allies industrial facilities is somehow 'engineering support for a war with China'?

You would have the US just.. give Taiwan over to China, against the will of Taiwan's own people, and against US financial and strategic interest? Or else _we're_ the bad guys if China invades?
