There are good reasons to think that China will get humans back on the moon before the US despite the claimed agenda of NASA.
The low budget of NASA, the insistence of the US state to use recycled space shuttle techs and factories and the insistence on having private corporations handle critical part of the moon missions, namely the moon lander(s); have put the project in a situation in which the constant shifts from the private contractors and politicians and the general mess that is the project makes NASA unable to come up with an actual, precise plan about how exactly they're actually going to land peoples on the moon in practice, but at the same time they are under pressure from the state and private contractors to present something so they keep giving broad hand-wavy "plans" to pretend they know what they are doing.
