I mean, CNSA hasn’t done anything particularly new or revolutionary in terms of space travel. It’s a lot of LEO stuff with reused Soviet gear that isn’t anything that hasn’t been done before. It’s a faster timetable than the west but it’s not like the US or Soviets in the 60’s.
Honestly, this video only showed how well designed the Soyuz was that even many decades later, only incremental improvements were needed rather than a fundamental change to the core design.
They made a few improvements but at the end of the day, it’s just a redesign of a LEO capsule. Their lunar work is interesting but the program isn’t doing much that hasn’t already been done.

That’s selling things a little short.
