The NASA/ESA mission was cut, yes. China's Tianwen-3 is reportedly still on track, and Japan launched theirs this week, although that one is going to Phobos (Mars' first moon) instead. Nonetheless, if either mission succeeds, even partially, they leapfrog any Western-led Mars sample return by several years, at least.
