I don't know if this is suppossed to be a meta-commentary/joke or not. I never said both of those things.

China is more suited for space coordination because of its productive capacity and cooperation with other nations. China will not seek to "own" outer space but to instead integrate space travel as a way to benefit itself and the world. China can care for its citizens, the US is quickly losing the ability/will to do so.

Why not try to reflect on the fact that the US only cares about space travel when China seems to overtake them ever so slightly?

I don't care what you really feel about China, but to interpret my support for China leading the space field as ignorance is just projection.

What... If you think China supports it's citizens and cooperates with the international community any better than the United States, and doesn't have a colonialist agenda, you're either speaking in bad faith or just terribly ignorant. We can sit here all day with whataboutisms, and comparison, but the truth is China is no more suited and, AT LEAST, just as ill intentioned.
