The Soyuz rocket is big, reliable , but of very limited military use. It takes a long time to fuel and launch and is highly visible to satellite snooping. It might be used in a first strike (assuming that the target nation can't detect the fueling process and increased pad activity) but is useless as a retaliatory weapon. If the Chinese have one, they may want the technology more for the lucrative satellite launching business. Since the US is a high labor cost country, and most of our launching vehicles are high tech and expensive, a cheap reliable rocket using low cost labor will be able to undercut US prices. From the standpoint of companies like GSTRF it doesn't matter who launches the satellite. All that counts is the cost and success rate.
