The Chinese Moonbase and Dead Taikonaut (Destiny)

Just now getting to the Podcast today, and caught them mention the astronaut was actual a Taikonaut, chinese astronaut. This pairing with the Chinese writing on the moonbase renders, it looks less of an international moonbase effort, but instead a mainly chinese moon presence.

I'm wondering if this is more of a nod toward the chinese space program gaining dominance in the coming centuries, or something more akin to increased Chinese cultural significance like in Firefly (i.e. In Firefly, they spoke Chinese phrases and sayings at times, because Chinese influence became much more prominent in the future of Earth/Human culture).
