No... because China has no use for it either.
Let them waste the money first like we did!
Let them waste the money first like we did!”
China is not stupid, and neither are the Russians and Indians - they know what US Luddites do not understand or refuse to see - that the future of the species lies in space with exploration, natural resource harvesting, and species survival in the long term - long term thinking is something alien to Americans but not elsewhere - especially in China.
In the short term, they understand that their ultimate national defense is holding the high ground - the Moon, the Lagrange Points and Mars.
The citizens of those countries will begin to enjoy a living standard that Americans will only dream about, huddled in their soon to come dusty villages and ruined cities (like Detroit).
Like now, US children who dream of going into space, will look elsewhere for jobs, and slowly the best and brightest will emigrate.
