    Sadly the Chinese private space industry still is miles off SpaceX and their public space programme is while certainly competent AFAIK in many moral ways not much different from SpaceX even ignoring the CCP’s issues.

    Like I know Long March 5B’s issue was solved but the fact that they acted like it didn’t need solving is damning
