They are investing in solar system exploration and space exploration in general too. We just rarely hear about how much progress they've made in the US because that stuff is pretty embarrassing for the US.
Or maybe just because they, you know, speak an entirely different language? Not everything has to be a conspiracy
I've been following space science for years, and I have traveled the world, there very much are "firewalls" of news and information we get between different countries. It's not "conspiratorial" it's just normal geopolitics. It would be a conspiracy if anyone was trying to hide the fact that they do this.
All that said, I see a LOT more news and information in mainstream media outlets about ESA than I do CNSA domestically. It's not a conspiracy and not a coincidence that we get information about our political and economic rivals downplayed.
