But capital is. Both Russia and China are fighting for capital.
With the space race the capital was military research, propaganda and money.
In China it's just money military research and propaganda
No different than the United States where the capital is money, military research and propaganda
End of the day it's all just capital. How it's controlled and what the capital is changes.
But it all still the same thing being fought over.
I would argue that is a better semantic dispute, but still forced. You can interpret things as political capital, technological capital, or even militaristic capital.... But it becomes a little over done pretty quickly. There are better and more accurate ways to describe these claims than to claim everything is capital.
