The weak and strong interactions have other properties that screen their influence at longer ranges (just like with the EM force due to objects being mostly neutral in case of the strong interaction for example), but the strong force is indeed much stronger.
The EM force between a proton here and at the edge of the visible universe is the same as the gravitational force between two protons at 1000 meters distance. The scale difference in the "hierarchy problem" is truly not graspable by human intuition.
