I’m not an expert but do lurk around Chinese space nerd online groups.
Starlink (and SpaceX in general) is one of the few areas where even Chinese space nerds will admit the gap between the US and China is actively widening, as in SpaceX is actually doing way better than the rest of the world.
People don’t like SpaceX because it’s associated with Elon Musk. China’s manned space program has been around since 2003 and there has been a total of 16 crewed orbital missions. SpaceX’s Crew Dragon only started in 2020 and already has 18 crewed orbital missions, and have carried more people to space than the entire span of China’s 20+ years of manned space program. Apparently it’s because SpaceX has managed to bring the cost of rocket launch down significantly.
