I don't think there will be a monopoly for SpaceX, at least not a global one.
It's a matter of nation sovereignty / media control: governments need local service providers that they can controlled. There's no way China will allow its citizens to freely use SpaceX, just like how Americans probably won't use satellite internet from a Chinese company.
