China and the United States are racing to accomplish the next human landing on the Moon in a competition for national prestige and lunar resources.

Good, because it seems NASA does better when there is competition.

China has a well developed plan for Space stretching out into the 2050s and beyond, and sticks to it.

Every new US administration chops & changes with NASA. That's how its ended up with its current nonsensical half Artemis/half-Space X plans for the Moon that are destined to fail.
