China and Russia to build lunar space station

Wouldn't the obvious constellation be that China provides the money, and Russia provides the know-how? Russia might desperately need the money to keep the remains of their space program alive, while any interesting technology they still might possess will be transferred to China.

The Chinese landed a rover on the moon, which is as far as the Russians got. And they did so with up-to-date tech.

Regarding Space exploration, the Chinese are not going to learn anything from the Russians.

The Russians didn't stop at the moon though:

They didn't have much luck with their Mars missions unfortunately:

Also, the Chinese manned space program was essentially bootstrapped by Russia:

Chinese prefer their own way. Not being content with others failed attempts, they now want to create their own modern autocracy story. Russian warnings about stalinism aren't heard in China.
