Nothing said about a base the statement was this
Based on funding and plans, China will beat the US to the Moon and Mars.

The missions are meant to lay the foundation for a lunar research base and visits by taikonauts, as the Chinese call them, in the 2030s. So far, only the American Apollo programs have put people on the moon.
Future missions between the two countries will aim to bring back lunar samples and land the first building blocks of the base by 2030.

And maybe a base on Titan.
So the post said this
Based on funding and plans, China will beat the US to the Moon and Mars.

Poll: China will beat the US in establishing a Moon base
Be advised that this is a public poll: other users can see the choice(s) you selected.
Agreed
Disagreed
I don't know
It'll be close
China is nearing completion of it's space station. Initially, the US had blocked China from participation in the International Space Station so China built its own. Like the US, China has offered to allow other nations to participate, which they are...as long as you can speak Chinese.
Based on funding and plans, China will beat the US to the Moon and Mars.

The Russians are already working with them on both the space station and lunar projects.

Correct.
Yeah. Two Totalitarian States. Any reason to worry about 'Space' being militarized?

You mean they weren't worried during the 60's? And Reagan wasn't worried?
I mean China is 'claiming' the South China Sea, maybe they will claim other things?

A lot but between Trump and the Democrats, I doubt we'll do much more than surrender.
It might come down to 'Money'. We may be too poor to do much about anything.
