The ISS was designed and built in various countries across 4 continents in the 80s and 90s, I would hardly call it only Russia's and the USA's. I honestly respect India's Aerospace more than China's current level of technology. Even the UK, who historically have had no interest in the field, are in the midst of planning 2 massive Space Ports in England and Scotland.

I'm not dismissing the failures of USA Space Program, it's so inefficient to its core that Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos each started their own rocketry firms that blew conventional compartmentalized industry pricing out of the running. I'm just striving for accuracy of Chinese Failures. They're not currently neck and neck with us, at all. When they figure out how to make coal powered rockets, then maybe I'll sweat a little, lol.
