Something like LORAN would be useful for operations near friendly nations and/or relatively uncontested areas.
They don't particularly help with striking Chinese assets. Which is what the DoD funding is primarily about.

Why not use China's own Loran (and BeiDou) system against them?
If that was a contingency, it would just play into the the whole cyber/information/electronic/space domains aspects of the whole "multi-domain" stuff.
Surely both China and the US have contingencies in place to try to determine if the opposing side is exploiting their PNT systems, and then figure out ways to subvert that in various ways.
