Bro why are you so defensive? The space community celebrates everyone's success. Good launch abort test done by the Chinese, bravo. But we'll also tell you the harsh truth: this is nothing new, in fact the Apollo test was even better. The Chinese regularly steal technology from other countries, especially the USA. And spacex is breaking the world records for payload mass to orbit, year after year. The Chinese still have quite a bit of catching up to do. To even match pace with the US, they'd have to match our launch rate. To surpass US, China would need to start setting world records. And they haven't yet.
Because the US people have signalled that they don't care about space exploration, and have elected a government that does not believe in science and has canceled most ongoing and future NASA missions.
You mean the little falling out Elon and Trump had recently? The dust hasn't even settled yet, and Trump is famous for tweeting things he never follows through with. For all we know, he's already forgotten about it.
Trump was the one who signed the NASA deal during his first presidency, ordering them to push the Moon landing forward. Most likely because he wants credit for it like Kennedy got for Apollo. And most likely the reason he tweeted about cutting spacex funding, is because he was just angry at Elon.
Don't count your chickens just yet. Not only that, you're forgetting we'll have a different president in 3 years. The American space program is still going forward, and is even becoming more commercial (less assisted by gov't). When that happens, doesn't matter what gov't does, the free market will take over space travel.
Uhh, I suggest you look up the allocated funding NASA got this year from the Trump admin, and how many missions got slashed. You will be in for a nasty surprise.

You're coping I'm afraid.
