China seems to want to REALLY minimise contact with the Fen. They might see that antagonising both the Fen and the other ground nations could push them closer together--and that could be a bad thing.
Of course, the more imaginative types that tend to do well with Handwavium might also decide that tney don't want to come home--and the Chinese already know that the Fen are pro freedom and pro defector. They might well decide to stay down on Earth.
I'm scrambling for a way for the Earth powers to get a presence in space, but without changing the overall nature of Fenspace. NOT having them geting up more and more is unreasonable--so we all need a reason for the groundside nations not to come up in force, and partition the solar system. After all, space is at a dangerous point--rich enough to be a viable addition to any nation's economy, but not able to keep a ground military out.
