I suppose the keyword there is "initiated".

The sino-vietnamese war was 100% initiated by China, they even sent notice to Russia that if they helped Vietnam at all they would nuke them

I hope China get some Iran and global south Astronauts up on the Chinese space station. Indonesian, Nigerian etc.

the NYT article about it is subtitled

"The Mengtian module was launched into orbit and docked with the Tiangong space station, the latest step in Beijing’s effort to surpass the United States in space exploration."

not an "effort to lead the world" or "effort to continue a constant human presence in space"

an effort to overtake the USA, USA is the best and for China, it's personal

I don't know if this counts as exploration but they launched the james webb telescope into space earlier this year. It dramatically increases the amount of stuff we can see.

half of james webb was ESA tho, but yes it is genuinely a step as huge as getting the CIA to point one of their spy satellites at the stars instead of russians

JWST,
Parker Solar Probe,
Mars Sample Return

Between NASA and the various private contractors; the US still has a huge space advantage over China. Tiangong is much smaller than ISS. I think this gap will close though; the 2030's will be the inflection point.

The scholz op-ed sounds about as positive as you can be towards China as a western leader without being immediately assassinated.

quote:

First, today’s China isn’t the same as the China of five or 10 years ago. The outcome of the Communist Party Congress that just concluded is unambiguous: Avowals of Marxism-Leninism now take up a much broader space than in the conclusions of previous congresses. The quest for national security — synonymous with the stability of the communist system — and national autonomy will be more significant going forward. And as China changes, the way that we deal with China must change too.

quote:

Third, even in changed circumstances, China remains an important business and trading partner for Germany and Europe — we don’t want to decouple from it. But what does China want?

quote:

This is a great deal of material for an inaugural visit to Beijing. We will seek cooperation where it lies in our mutual interest, but we will not ignore controversies either. For that is part and parcel of a candid exchange between Germany and China.

Like he acknowledges that preserving the stability of the communist party has legitimate roots in maintaining national security and autonomy, and that it is better for everyone to continue to trade with China
