The fact that NASA had to rely on Roscosmos in the first place is shameful. It highlights long standing issues facing the space program. I think some of these problems trace back to the cost of the ISS. It's been hard to convey the importance and investment into the future the station provides.

For China their station provides proof of concept that they can achieve similar results one day both to themselves and the world watching.
