> Competition is already fierce, with Russia and China challenging the United States for leadership

That's incorrect. Russia hardly ever pushes new things in space lately. China has carefully launched several manned flights, and works hard in government space; but no commercial revolution in space of SpaceX scale anywhere on the horizon, for good reasons.

The biggest opponent of USA in space today is USA itself.

When US officials talk up other countries in areas such as military, space, or general technology they do it because they are trying to get funding for something.
