This is how I discover China has its own space station.
> When China formally requested to join the ISS program in 2007, Roscosmos and the European Space Agency (ESA) supported cooperation with China, but the Wolf Amendment, enacted by the United States since 2011, prohibited Chinese participation. That same year, China launched Tiangong-1, gaining rendezvous and docking experience.
10 years later, they had a fully operation space station. Say what you will, the Chinese are efficient once they set their mind to something.

- cadamsdotcom 15d agoSorry, but that's quite an antique take. Modern China has morphed itself into a highly capable society. They make your drones, they make your computers, they make your textiles... and mostly, they do it while providing their people better quality of life than the previous generation. Counter-anecdotes abound as you'd expect t from a society of millions. But there's widespread prosperity over there. There are plenty of decent opportunities for those who want to work hard, no different to how it is in the US.
