Chinese gov't is likely subsidizing those also to gain market-share. So it's in the same boat, perhaps at a different pace though, as they don't have to care what Wallstreet wants

since the 1970's Viking missions. Nobody will really know until we get samples back on Earth. (I hope we have immunity if a lab leak.)

The Viking landers detected what look like circadian rhythms, where organisms have an internal clock to optimize metabolism to fit daily temperature swings. The pattern of the rhythm fading over time when kept a constant temperature, and after being baked fit the pattern of certain Earth microbes. But "funny chemistry" can't be ruled out. Mars is a tease.
