The space economy: China is much aware of this, working to control the gateways to the space economy. By 2039, it’ll launch [enormous] space stations. China will acknowledge, and violate, the international regime. Japan, France, Kenya, Peru: assembling a cheering section for China. China’s space station is technology stolen from Russia. China is winning the race like tortoise: keeping a constant speed. https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202101/1212843.shtml
