Congratulations China:
Yes. Fantastic. Only 45 yrs late. And meanwhile on a street corner in Beijing, the air is about as breathable as the air in the Ruhr valley.... 30 years ago.
Anyone up for a spot of internet censoring ?

Agreed, splendid achievement.
Why are they building their own space station, not cooperating with the international one already up there?

I don't have the faintest idea about where those figures come from but what is apparent is that you are not very well informed about China. 3o to 45 years in their scheme of things is nothing. You have possibly never heard of the large billboard on the main highway leading into the space centre city of Jiuquan (九泉）which is located on the edge of the Gobi desert. Just for you, this is what it simply and starkly says in both Chinese and English ---- "Without haste, Without fear we Conquer the world".
You can add to this by speculating that after 5000 years of patient waiting. watching and learning this is at last China's appointed time. (Simon Winchester 2008).
O.P.

Correct, I'm not that well versed with the last 2000 years of Chinese history, other than the exploits of Mao, and indeed much of that is redacted; much of the rest of it has been about wallowing in buffaloe ****. I prefer the slightly more interesting period of mid 20c. Western history, however each to their own. It would appear, however, that Western influence is on the wane. If it is China's appointed time, God help us all. Thankfully I'll be long underground before they can f@ck up too much more of the planet and bring their own brand of autocratic venal pseudo Marxism to the rest of us.
Chairman Mao. ? Yes let's look up to him whilst we're at shall we ? Made the Fuhrer and Uncle Joe look like rank amateurs in the genocide stakes.
Anyway, good luck in space. Perhaps they could encourage space tourism, for their own people of course. Stop the rest of them ****ting in the street, defacing hieroglyphics, aborting unborn female foetuses, and behaving like peasants around the rest of the world.
Good luck with conquering the World. Hopefully the Rest of the World doesn't f@cking want it.

The biggest surviving Dictatorship - beware of China. They are a law unto themselves and big enough to not care a damn what you think of it.
They are clever and good at business. Been to Africa lately?? Quiet takeover going on and all that mineral wealth will be stripped whilst the ruling classes are organising their corrupt millions, the Chinese are organising asset stripping Billions - believe me!!

Give me one good reason why China should even consider co-operating in space when Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State is on record as saying "we will ring China with missiles".
Arfur:
I'm sure you will be pleased to note as I am that the DC3/C47 recently supplied by Australia to the Flying Tigers Historical Organization in Guilin has crossed the hump and is now on Chinese soil in Kunming.
airdualbleedfault:
I always thought cool aid was exclusively and infamously an American thing.

The single reason they don't let the Chinese play with the other kids on the International Space Station is....
By the time the Chinese get back to Earth, you would be able to buy a genuine International Space Station in Shenzhen.

Yeah maybe they have nuclear weapons up there already. Maybe. Maybe not. The more likely answer is that they don't want to have to share their Space Station (or a Flightdeck) with any Ozstranauts. Who does?
