The US rarely shows off the actual advanced stuff until they can’t hide it anymore. We only know for sure RQ-180 exists because of two low quality photos of it in flight, otherwise it would just be a rumor. China has been making a ton of investment in its domestic aero industry and is the only one to show off their flying articles. Saying your picrel makes GCAP the world leader is the same as saying mine puts Northrop Grumman ahead of everyone else. GCAP is pretty solidly in third, which is solid for a multinational program but also needs perfectly smooth sailing for the next decade to keep that spot.
