[ I find predictions about the Chinese amusing.
One of my small appliances, a toaster, was made in China. If Chinese spacecraft and aircraft carriers work as well as the toaster...we aint got any worries! ]
Yeah, but life is cheap in China. So if they blow up several dozen people on the launch pad that isn’t going to stop them for several years after each failure.
They will just train more “taikonauts” and stamp out more cheap space craft and take some of the extra musicians they have lying about to write epic songs of the braveness of the departed to inspire the next round of expendable commodities.
Wow, Grace! And I thought I was cynical.
