      Don’t be obtuse.

      There are other concerns with developing space tech besides ones concerning competence and expertise.

      Even that is worth questioning, as Russia is suffering historical levels of brain-drain for obvious reasons.

      Excuse you.

      China to this day still can’t bloody land spent rocket stages safely away from populated areas and you want them to fire off radioactive material into space and hope it doesn’t accident crash land back on populated areas?
