Is it just me or the US suit seems to be more bulky/heavy compared to Chinese suit?
The woman on US suit has to be helped and use stick to squat and kneel while the Chinese one doesn't have to be helped.

I don't necessarily think that's a fair comparison. It's hard to tell whether the dexterity demo in the video of the Chinese space suit is animated or computer rendered and things might different if it was an actual person in a production sample.
