I'm expecting that once China lands people on the moon, then there's gonna be a big rush to catch up from US.

For sure. Would be a big motivator for getting actual shit together and would then mean the next push would be Mars. Though I am hoping that China (with maybe some follow-up missions that include some joint stuff with other socialist nation members) will make it Mars first. Would be a missed chance to have the history books record that "the reds take the red planet" otherwise.
