The US is on track to beating themselves out of space exploration. Let alone extracting lunar water.

China is beating us on so many levels. I’m go glad we are “winning” our way to becoming a third world nation.

Unfortunately there is very little chance America will be competing with China in any major tech front considering our current political climate.
The money and will is no longer there to support it. Couple this with the recent mass ejection of scientists and the seemingly near total rejection of research support leaves us relying on a nascent private sector space industry.
Will be surprised if we even make it back to the moon at this point.

So China is getting water from the moon, and the US is allegedly thinking about defunding NASA and folding it under the DOT.
