The problem is that the only way to do this is by using rocket engines which are extremely polluting. There would need to be new motor innovations which can be used for every field. Iike a small nuclear motor or the like.
I personally like technological advancement in general. China has a good mix of practical and immediately useful tech, but they also do some moonshot projects like this. Even when these projects don’t work out, something interesting is learned in the process.

I think we’ll have to wait and see what they actually come up with here.
Gonna be a long wait
China does tend to have a track record of finishing big engineering projects early. :)
The Chinese projects I admire is the non fancy stuff. Like building trains.
