Part of the reason for not cooperating was China dropping boosters on populated areas I think.

Edit: here's a video of a hypergolic first stage crashing on/near a village a week ago.

Has nothing to do with that. They are concerned about China getting their hands on U.S. rocket technology that they could use for defense purposes.

That's because the US enacted a law called the Wolf Amendment in 2011, which prevents NASA from using government funds to cooperate directly with China

Laws are stupid apparently

So private money is ok? Privatize NASA

Just calling out the sensationalised headline here. It's not an absurd reason why but in fact something completely grounded and expected.
