  1. Opine, these funds / monies would better be spent elsewhere to support the present PRChina's economic and financial challenges … it makes no sense to repeat Space Explorations and experimentations which previously some 2 to 3 decades ago achieved/carried by other countries.

  2. Communist China 🇨🇳( People Republic of China) spy networks in your country: 1. 99.9% of migrants, refugees and students from People Republic of China ( Communist China). 2. So called investment companies of CCP China. 3. Tourists of CCP Chinese. 4. Made in Communist China computers, mobile phone, monitors and drones, internet( Tiktok) AI. 5. Greedy people in your country . 6 drug dealers . If your country has 5% of migrants grown up in Communist , then they could vote for Pro Communism Party.

  3. Chinese🇨🇳 space station Tiangong is a low-quality copycat of the abandoned Russian Mir space station.
    – Tiangong is only 1/5 of ISS size and lasts only 10 years, a third of ISS lifespan.
    Space stations in general are out of date or their usefulness.

  4. China space program is progressing ahead in a steady and continuous manner.

    Shenzhou-19 with taikonauts Cai Xuzhe, Song Lingdong and Wang Haoze will carry out China spaceflight mission.

    Wang Haoze is currently China's only female space flight engineer and will become the third Chinese woman to embark on a crewed spaceflight mission previously served as a senior engineer at the Academy of Aerospace Propulsion Technology under the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.

    The Shenzhou-19 taikonauts will complete in-orbit rotation and will stay at the space station for approximately six months, witnessing the arrival of the Tianzhou-8 cargo craft and Shenzhou-20 crewed spaceship during the mission.

    The taikonauts will be conducting space science and application tests, performing extravehicular activities, installing protective devices against space debris, installing and recycling extravehicular payloads and equipment.

  5. Can help irked with CNA's negative view about China's space program! China has been shut out of the European Gallileo satellite program after being invited to participate and invested $280 millions but excluded from sensitive works like building satellites. Again the US Congress passed a law that bars Nasa from any cooperation with China. The US had also denied visas to Chinese participants from attending an international (UN?) Space conference held in the USA
    CNA isn't aware that China works with the UN to internationalise its space program especially with developing countries and invite ALL interested countries to submit projects in cooperation with China space

  6. How does pwc still has clients? It’s been 2-3 years already ever since they scammed Australia government.

    With that kind of scale you just couldn’t expect them to stay around.

    You know pwc are sort of in FTX territory except pwc have much more fancy office and workers with better education that’s about it, also they’re not crypto, yet.

  7. US' predicament in seeking lunar soil samples from China a self-inflicted problem.

    NASA Administrator Bill Nelson stated that NASA and Chinese officials are engaged in talks to let American scientists analyze the samples, expressing that the talks will end "positively." However, the report also reveals that some US officials are hesitant about a potential agreement thinking it could weaken the US posture of toughness toward China. This highlights the distorted mind-set underlying the desire for US involvement in studying the Chinese samples while not giving up its zero-sum approach in its relationship with China.

    NASA has been eagerly eyeing the lunar soil samples brought back by Chang'e-5 for quite some time. Since October of last year, when China announced that the Chang'e-5 lunar samples would soon be open to international applications, NASA has shown great interest in the samples. Reports have even revealed that an internal NASA email stated the application for access was necessary because of the "unique value" of the Chinese samples, which had been "made available recently to the international scientific community for research purposes." However, a US domestic law known as the Wolf Amendment has significantly hindered a range of China-US space collaborations, including joint research on lunar soil.

    The Wolf Amendment prohibits the use of government funding by NASA, the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy, or the National Space Council for any collaboration, hosting, or bilateral coordination with China or Chinese-owned companies without certification from the FBI. This strict, bigoted ban has become a self-imposed constraint for the US in the area of space cooperation with China.

  8. Diplomacy in space has often been complicated by the 2011 U.S. law known as the Wolf Amendment, which prohibits NASA from collaborating with China unless it can be demonstrated that such discussions wouldn't threaten U.S. national security. This law requires NASA to work with the FBI to certify these interactions for Congress.

    The Wolf Amendment has caused the US to lose its ability to progress while also preventing potential collaborations with China. Ultimately, this predicament is one that the US has brought upon itself.

  9. Many young men from economically challenged remote regions are joining the Russian military, drawn by substantial financial and other incentives. The contribution from North Korea is expected to bring a more organized and trained force. Their general will lead them to overcome the language barrier and implement their battle tactics. With Russia's resources and North Korea's need for economic support, this partnership presents a mutually beneficial solution.

  10. No question China will be successful in all its space missions as they are dedicated, advancement in their space technology, engineers, scientists and the money to it. Nothing can stop China 💪💪💪👏👏👏.

  11. China willingly to cooperate with friendly countries but definitely not with hypocrites liars, troublemakers and warmongers such as US and its dogs. In fact it better to omit this hypocrites liars countries as they are more a threat to China space station and its space projects. North stream 2 sabotage definitely a good example. 😂

  12. Western like media always asks this kind of silly question, what is the drive behind China's space program. You never ask "What is behind of US space exploration?" It is in your mind that Chinese should just make shoes for rich westerners, and let capable western world to take care of space exploration.
