China rejected the USA application to participate in the Tiangong Space Station experiments, citing the USA has 'nothing of value' to contribute to space exploration. That was one big slap on the face of the USA.
Then, as you now know and would expect, sour grapes became the order of the day, with all the hubris thrown at the Tiangong Space Station. Fabrications such as not up to their standard, should not be using Chinese on board, and not international enough by keeping them out. They have not yet been on board and how do they know what standard they are expecting and talking about?
They should look at the developments closer to the ground to understand the standard the Chinese have accomplised, compared to the USA eg infrastructure, in order to talk about standard.
Honestly, why is the USA still bragging about their standard when they have, for years, been riding piggy back on the Russian constructed ISS, even needing Russian rockets to ferry them to the ISS, and yet they were the one instigating and having the final say in forbidding the participation of the Chinese in space research on the ISS.
Years down the road, they never would expect China to go to the moon, landed a probe on Mars and have their own space station. They could not figure out how the Chinese could land a probe on Mars, with all the complexities of Mars having no gravity and scant atmosphere existing on Mars.
Let not the USA claim that China stole their space station technology when China had never been allowed on the ISS. That will never hold water. Or that China stole their 5G mobile tech, when they are still struggling to put in place a workable system. Right now, their 5G attempt is still fraught with problems. Their biggest problem probably being how to have a backdoor to spy on allies using 5G. LOL

Five Australian Schoolgirls Arrested For Stealing at Orchard Road
ReplyDeleteFive girls from an elite private school - Bacchus Marsh Grammar, which has a main campus 60km northwest of Melbourne - have been arrested for allegedly stealing items at Orchard Road, including from a Victoria’s Secret outlet, during a netball trip to Singapore.
The Grammar school has 18 students in Singapore competing in a regional netball competition.
The girls spent 10 hours in jail cells and were only allowed to return to their hotel at 3.30am.
'They have been back and forth from the police station and their accommodation,' a source close to the school said.
Bacchus Marsh Grammar principal Andrew Neal said the school is investigating what had happened.
The maximum sentence for shoplifting in Singapore is three years behind bars.
Singaporeans will be watching if the country's laws, punishment for crimes, is being equally applied to all in the city state, regardless of race or nationality.
Just look at High Speed Trains in countries using Chinese and Japanese construction expertise.
ReplyDeleteOne is already up and running, while the other is still years behind schedule. Guess who is who?
The reason the USA still insists on running the ISS, abandoned by the Russians, is probably to learn what is inside the station, steal as much Russian technology as they need before 2024, as they have yet to construct one of their own. They cannot lose face against the Chinese, who are one up on them with the Tiangong Space Station. TSS is all Chinese constructed, with Chinese expertise and technology, with Chinese language operating manuals and signage on board, and above all not stolen from anyone. Not that this is the only thing that the Chinese are ahead in the space race.
ReplyDeleteBeing too arrogant is the downfall of many. The USA underestimate the ability of others, especially the Chinese, and goes totally crazy when they found out too late. And that is when they will resort to hitting below the belt with sanctions, technology stiffling and throwing accusations that have little basis. In a nutshell, it is desperation and clutching at straws, with direct confrontation on the cards.
Just look at 5G, which they basically lost the plot. They had to try to kill off Huawei, ropping in their doggies to support them. Yet they are still unable to solve multiple problems associated with the 5G infrastructures they are setting up. The cost of taking down Huawei's infrastructure and erecting their own is costing them a lost of money, not to mention the patent rights they still have to pay to Huawei.
I think Huawei should just sit tight and keep collecting their patent rights payment, just like our COEs for vehicles. Years ago, Red Dot was making fun of our Northern neighbour about assembling cars that are causing so much problems, changing from one partner to another. Issuing COEs would be a better way of making lots of money. A piece of paper worth a few cents could be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Why waste time assembling cars that can only sell mainly in Matland?
Likewise with the USA just printing fiat money that cost little, exporting it's inflation and using it's fiat US$ to buy real goods produced with blood and sweat by people of other countries. Why would the USA need to produce anything in exchange when it was so easy just running the printing press day and night? And so they keep printing merrily and enjoying the fruits of labour of others. Well, this is not going to go on forever. And they are nervous, paranoid and terrified of the consequences. The world is getting wiser. Fool them once, shame on the USA. Fool them twice, shame on them.
Everyone shall pray for the safety of the astronauts in the ISS. It could collapse at any moment. It is now running on overtime, exceeding its lifespan. The parts are breaking apart.
ReplyDeleteFor a bit of silly pride, the evil Americans are putting the lives of the astronauts to unnecessary danger and risk.
I am waiting for the confirmation that the Americans did not land on moon and the whole moon landing episode was just a hoax. They could not do it now, they could not do it 50 years ago.
ReplyDeleteNow desperately wanting to prove that they can beat the Chinese to land on the moon. If they had been there, why the need and desperation to want to prove it again?
A word about that accusation by Ukraine's foreign minster that Russia is playing the 'hunger games' with the world.
ReplyDeleteDo not be misled by his accusations. All the USA and the West cares about shortage of food for the Anglo Saxon Whites in Europe, with inflation already sky high. He is definitely not caring about what happens to Africans or Asians facing starvation.
Food grains shipments out of Ukraine, which Russia stopped supporting and
has yet to resume, shows that more than half of all grains goes to Europe, with just 3% going to Africa and the rest to other poor countries of the Middle East and Asia. That was the reason why Putin would not support it. Putin is promising free grains to Africa instead, rather than mainly feeding the Anglo Saxon Whites in Europe by supporting grain exports from Ukraine.
Another masterstroke by Putin has been the taking out of energy infrastructures in Ukraine. Why did Putin wait so long to do it? The reason is obvious as pointed out by one observer. Winter has now arrived in Ukraine and Europe. Taking those energy infrastructures out earlier gives Ukraine the time factor to do repairs, thus wasting Russian missiles for nothing. Taking them out right before winter gives them little time to repair those damaged energy infrastructures. A chess player like Putin knows what works and what does not.
Ya, timing is important. Zelensky is talking about peace, the Americans also. This means that the war is going against them and they cannot afford to fight on in a losing war. The protests in the cities of Europe would grow louder and bigger like the last phase of the Vietnam War.
ReplyDeleteThe Europeans have no reason for this war and have no reason to suffer the pain of this war, hunger and a cold winter without heater.
But someone is making sure the war in Ukraine does not end.
ReplyDeletePoland just started another accusation of a Russian missile killing two people. Made in Russia missile does not necessarily mean the Russians fired it. It could be Ukraine's Zelenskyy wanting to drag NATO in to sustain the war. There are still tons of Soviet Era weapons in Poland and Ukraine, apart from some other former Soviet satellite states.
When weapons made in the USA are used against other countries, do they blame the USA? Iran sold drones to Russia before the war in Ukraine started, and the USA and the West are accusing Iran being involved in directly supporting Russia. Same with North Korea.
There is no plausible reason why Russia would fire a missile into Poland. That smells of a false flag, knowing that the EU is tottering in it's support for Ukraine. They must ensure this does not happen and what better way than to drag NATO into the conflict.
Zelenskyy is a double headed snake like the USA. They say one thing, but do the opposite. Never take them at face value.
ReplyDeleteHow many times have Zelenskyy say one thing, reverse course after being taken to task. When the Ukraine War started and successful negotiations were reached to end the war with Russia in March or April, a visit by Boris Johnson changed all that for Zelenskyy.
That is an indication of how much control they have over Zelenskyy the clown.
