> The US should take leadership ideas from China?

Yes, why not? The USA should take good ideas from anywhere they come from, as should any other country.

> notice that China is very short on private cars.

China has 172 million private cars, is that "very short" on private cars?

The USA has 250 million private cars by comparison.

China will likely exceed the US private car ownership in a few short years, will they still be "very short" on private cars when that happens?

Interesting. Okay, but the more relevant number for mass transportation planning would be the number of cars per, say, 1000 people or 1000 working age people or some such. With that, the US has a lot "more" cars and China is "short" on cars.
