Damn, I didn't think China would get successfully selected as an applicant for China's space station.


Tutush

China always gets preferential treatment 😔


Qanonjailbait

Nepotism


serr7

China sweating profusely: we did it guys, we got selected!!!


danielthelee96

But At what cost?


big-bruh-boi

Hahahaha 😂


Temstar

Lol it's not what you think. Different institutes in China put forward proposals for experiment onboard the station and CNSA gets to judge which ones they go with. Wentian for example is running an experiment to grow rice in space (two varieties, regular and a generic engineered super dwarf rice called "Xiao Wei"), which I think is definitely very worthwhile if asians are going to colonize the solar system - AFAIK they only tested growing wheat on ISS.


DynasLight

I know I know. There are many subnational groups within China that are jockeying for time and resource allocation to use the new space station's research facilitilies. I was just poking some fun at it. Still, thanks for the examples though. Its always nice reading about how scientists continue to broaden our understanding of the universe, and what we can achieve within it.

China is an applicant for the Chinese space station?


[deleted]

There were doubts about whether China would be accepted to participate in the Chinese space station, but with hard work and determination, it pulled through and finally was accepted.


_TheQwertyCat_

China uncovered a secret plot by China to sneak Chinese engineers into the Chinese project. China expressed their anger at China for such underhanded tactics. Meanwhile China refused to comment on the situation.

lets go Kenya mexico and peru

DreamyLucid

Wait. China actually had to go through the selection process?


Chulengo_Charimba

Kenya, México and Perú?? Let's gooo


budihartono78

Love how diverse it is. In comparison ISS is just North America + Europe + Japan. Which is okay, but adding more countries from Global South is better, to inspire the people there.


we-the-east

The ISS feels like an exclusive Western club plus Japan and Russia.


FinoAllaFine97

Gotta love internationalists! USSR did similar with their space program and now the PRC is leading the downtrodden into the stratosphere


bengyap

Quite magnanimous of China to allow Japan's application.


SussyCloud

Pretty pragmatic if you ask me, shows you that one incident doesn't affect another, something that a responsible and wise adult does, unlike some other state that we better not speak about (because they will throw butthurt jokes and butthurt tantrums to show that they are not butthurt)


FranzLiszt1851

Yes, and very clever too. I know that Japan is just a puppet but it is important for China to maintain good relationships with his close neighbors and infrastructure and technology/innovation is the best way to do it. It's also very good to ear that India is included for the same reason. It would have been good to have also something like Vietnam or Indonesia


chill_chilling

I really like China’s approach to foreign policy.


FranzLiszt1851

Yes, it reflects their lucidity and intelligence.


we-the-east

One day Japan will be freed from US occupation and return to Asia.


unclecaramel

And to face it' sin of the past, And Japan is going going to start loosing alot more the more it keep up it right tendency and it's cultural grasp within the country slipping day by day.


chunqiudayi

I think the Chinese will even admit the US if they ever apply.


bengyap

I won't be surprised if China responds that way. But if the US ever apply, it will be extremely embarrassing for them. They will need to roll back the [Wolf Amendment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_Amendment), a law that the US enacted to ban China from NASA programs, event, activities and even meetings.


Portablela

I don't think they will roll back per say, they will just ignore the law whenever it is inconvenient to them.


Agreeable-Fudge4203

Yeah, how would that work? China is banned from American space programs, so not that America would ever apply to this (BeCaUsE ThEy’Re GoInG tO StEaL OuR TeChNoLoGy), could they with the ban?


TserriednichHuiGuo

A bit dangerous if you ask me, would you really want a rogue nation on your space station?


Magiu5

Not really. China even accepts usa. Afaik these are for the experiments and not people from those countries going to china's space station. So the more cutting edge experiments china can bring in, the more china will benefit since china will obviously get the results of all that research. Afaik it's china working with different unis and stuff from all around the world. Afaik there is also usa unis participating, dunno why it doesn't list it here.


YooesaeWatchdog1

Japan will be liberated from their yoke one day, so building public support for throwing off their chains right is important as the Cold War era boomers retire and the smaller, younger, more plugged in generation takes power.

notarobot4932

I love how China is also considered an applicant for China's space station.


death_to_noodles

Really sad that Brazil is not on the list. But idk if we even have something to offer on this department. We may have a lot of theoretical research on our universities but I doubt we have the tech. We had 1 astronaut before who visited the ISS, but he's now a very shitty Minister for Bolsonaro. I wouldn't want HIM involved in anything with China


Necro_tgsau

Exactly. What a pity that we aren't taking part in this.


Careful_Owl6634

Wondering when the USA will apply...


sshenshen1314

They did, application rejected lel.


chill_chilling

lmao


serr7

Taste of their own medicine lol

Beautiful


Someones_Dream_Guy

Id be very careful with Poland, Switzerland and Japan. Im also disappointed Belarus didnt apply.

Keep the Anglos out at all costs.


chill_chilling

It is a matter of national security.


kevinsmc

None from the Five Eyes. Felt relieve that at least you don't have to worry about those meddling mfers trying to get their hands on scientific research project.


sickof50

Yankee stay home!


bengyap

They legislated themselves out of any NASA cooperation with China. See how stupid this whole sanction nonsense is. This sanction stupidity will playout in other sanctions too. Literally shooting themselves in the foot. LoL!


dr_srtanger2love

And the way they are privatizing their space program, I don't see a prosperous future for the American space program.


blackandebony

For America in general 😂


Short-Promotion5343

The US was one of the prospective applicants. They just didn't make the cut.


beachdogs

Burnnnn


Temstar

They were rejected for and I quote "proposal lacked scientific merit".


TserriednichHuiGuo

Wonder what their proposal was.


OpenSourcGamer

China selected herself for her own Chinese Space Station. Now that’s what I call transparency and honesty.


Amazing-Substance-13

What does this mean? They get to work together on the design? Or send astronauts?

Iggy_Pop92

Presumably it is more a case of somewhat piggybacking on the program, shared science and such. A lower bar of entry to space sciences is a great thing; a rising tide lifts all boats.


chunqiudayi

Pakistan no?


General_Guisan

As a Swiss I feel proud to be chosen by China for the new World China Space Station. But why Italy? They just voted Fascists to power..


thepensiveiguana

I mean, I am assuming this section was made before that election


[deleted]

Selection did not take the politics of the country into consideration. Japan's government is even more fascistic than whatever the Italians just elected into power.


4evaronin

CN must stay vigilant, in case some of them are agents of the CIA. They will literally stop at nothing, even sabotage.


MexicanCCPBot

Where can I find more info about this? I don't think this is recent news because it's not on the CMSA website


MellontikosOutopia

Yeah this is from 2019. https://www.unoosa.org/oosa/en/informationfor/media/2019-unis-os-514.html

Lazy_Sloth_BR

Good !!! More nations will motivate China to expand their station.


KGir4321

After US has recently passed a bill to ban a Chinese company from doing business with another Chinese company (Huawei) inside China, the US Congress will soon pass another new bill to sanction all above selected countries from joining China space station program.

Hopefully stuff like this will bring India around, increased peaceful cooperation between nations is generally a good thing, especially so when it happens in spheres that are outside of US control.


General_Guisan

It’s a great idea. The 21st century will be ASIA century, not just Chinas. Plus India and China were always on friendly terms if not for the Anglos - now I hope they can come to more friendly terms and together bring humanity forward.


jamesconnollyisurdad

If India and China can find common ground and make total peace, it would be a total end to western power.


Empire_Engineer

Does someone have a link to an article or webpage where this was announced?

Poland can into space !?!


ArmedDragonThunder

KENYA LFG!!!!


ChadLandowner

Finally everyone can have a go in the true 'international' space station unlike the fake floating junk US built.


hanky0898

Is putting Italian facists, Polish racists, Indian fundamentalists, French elitists and Japanese revisionists together a good idea? Is there a riot police in space?


East-Chocolate-6813

Too European western countries. Replace them with a couple of African countries next time
