Even if China builds the first moon base, Americans can just move the goalpost and say the finish line is actually landing on Mars. If the USA first lands on Mars, Chinese can just say the finish line is actually building a Mars base… or vice versa.

IIRC neither the CNSA nor NASA have claimed anyone’s launching any “space race.” The whole thing is just fanned up by politicians and media and doesn’t actually mean anything.
