They must have made some huge advances since the last time I checked in on them because they haven't exactly been considered sophisticated in the art of rocketry for a couple centuries now. They first had a person in space in 2003 and they're still using the same Shenzou line of rockets since that time. They've had some controversies about where their boosters are landing and covering people with Hydrazine which is also an outdated fuel type, imo.

NASA and all it's bureaucracy was overtaken by private corps years ago.

Privatization was NASA’s strategy. They actually oversee the distribution of funds to private companies. Space X is paid out of NASA’s budget.
