The propaganda aspect is import so I'm adding this to a reply rather than yet another edit.
This research is interesting. What the article tries to do isn't clarifying the work rather than put a nation "first". Other nations do that too. That's not a good thing. We should celebrate research as a better understanding of our world, both natural and engineered. We should share what has been learned and built on top of each other.
Now when a nation, being China, or the US, or any other country, is saying they are "first" and "ahead" of anybody else, it's to bolster nationalistic pride. It's not to educate citizens on the topic. It's important to be able to disentangle the two regardless of the source.
That's WHY I'm being so finicky about facts in here. It's not that I care about the topic particularly, rather it's about the overall political process, not the science.
