We Americans over engineer everything to be as safe as we can make it. One of the large drawbacks to this is that we don't take to many risks and chances when human life is concerned. It's something that China isn't going to worry about. They won't over engineer and they will be willing to take risks that we won't. Yes, they are going to lose people. Yes, bad things are going to happen for them. But they are going to go a great distance in a short amount of time in the "space race" because of it.
