Describing ESA/CSA/JAXA as 'just an equipment supplier for NASA' is exactly the issue you're attributing to the West. They aren't prevented from developing their own crewed spaceflight capability. They aren't even prevented from working with China (ESA has experiments on Tiangong for instance). They just find it more effective to put aside greed to work closely with NASA. It is well understood that the only reasons ESA and JAXA in particular don't have crewed spacecraft is a lack of need, as both are clearly capable of developing reliable rockets and having supplied modules for the ISS are also clearly capable of designing spacecraft that can keep humans alive. If India wants its Lunar infrastructure in the hypothetical case where the West somehow has already fully colonized it before India has had a chance to establish and maintain its own colony, perhaps India too should put aside its greed and seek to work through things via mutual cooperation?
