I mean, when you consider the two programs on a purely technical level, that post seems like an accurate description to me. Artemis is a huge mess and has been from the start, the Chinese program has taken a much better approach.

Part of that is likely just perception because China doesn’t reveal much about their plans before the fact, so we don’t get to see as much of where they change their minds along the way or the political wrangling that gets them there. But the end results are different enough that I think a case can be made that China’s still approaching this better even allowing for the hidden stuff.
