The AAWSAP reports describe *exactly* the types of scientific topics and theories that a reverse engineering effort would need to grapple with to make sense of retrieved UAP materials.
(Case in point: “Antigravity for aerospace applications”)
Possible they are doing it without reverse engineering pure based on descriptions of alien craft and interactions but given all the disclosure claims at this point I find it HIGHLY unlikely.
We may be decades, or a century, ahead of other nations in secret technology. And having had the highest GDP in the world for decades now, we can "disappear" more money and use it on black projects than anyone else has been able to.
That means that if we are ever attacked by anyone, we have tech no one can even dream about, in order to defend ourselves.

My understanding is that the US, China, and Russia are racing at a similar pace. This may be explained by the fact that these countries spy on each other.
As of 03 Dec 2023, the average wage of a Chinese worker compared to an American worker is not as compelling as it was in the past. A study by the United Auto Workers of America (UAW) at the time quoted the average wage for a Chinese auto worker at the equivalent of 59 cents an hour, a touch less than 3% of his or her American counterpart. When China entered the World Trade Organization at the beginning of this century, its average annual wage was about 9,333 yuan a year, a dollar equivalent of about $1,127. At that time, the average American worker, according to the Social Security Administration, took home some $30,846 a year, almost 30 times his or her Chinese counterpart.0 However, according to a salary survey in 2018, a factory worker's salary in China is USD 5.51 per hour. As of 2023, the annual average wage of a typical Chinese employee is around 352,000 Yuan (USD 50,629).
The intellectual property they were able to steal is probably tip of the iceberg. The real secrets are miles underground, built over the decades. And no foreign national could ever get access.
We have secrets so secret, the presidents probably don't know about them. Until they have to.
