      china put lots of money into this project. i think that money couldve been spent better elsewhere. i dont know what that has to do with the labor of the people working on the project.

        The point is you're looking at it as purely a monetary thing, which is misleading. At the end of the day monetary allocation is an abstraction for the allocation of resources and labour. If the resources and labour (which were probably mostly spent before covid started as the majority of the project takes place in the 18 months before launch) couldn't be spent more effectively on fighting covid then it likely isn't affecting the fight against covid. Also it's really tough to argue that China's rocket launch is affecting their covid fight considering they have covid largely under control.
