The NASA/ESA MSR was of substantially higher quality, mind you. The M2020 rover specifically picked up samples of high scientific value to be returned. The Chinese return mission will only return what it finds from its direct landing site.

It would be cool if NASA worked with the Chinese agency to collect those cores using their rocket, it would be a win win.
