China's Manned Space Program

Largest single module in space.

Still 2 more modules to be added next year before it is fully complete.

Yes but 70% of the hardware job is almost done.

Shenzhou-12 astronauts install WiFi on the space station
Shenzhou-12 astronauts installed wireless WiFi equipment in the core module of the space station. After completion, they would be connected to the ground network so that astronauts can communicate smoothly and have video calls with ground personnel.

Americans are too little hearted people. US will block China wherever it can as long as US thinks it is world's top dog. Think about how English, French, Dutch, Germans used to slaughter each other by the millions. These people are just like that. It is in their nature to not get along. Bloodshed and destruction is in their nature.

this big telescope with 4.5m diameter and 14m in length will be attached to the space station. it has same spatial resolution capability as hubble, but the field of view area is 300 times of hubble.

No, it will not be attached to the station. It will be a separate one but co-orbit with the Chinese space station. The initial plan was to make the telescope attached to the station; but later the simulation shows the vibration from the station, although very very small, would lower the accuracy of the telescope's camera. So the plan changed.

Correct, it will be co-orbiting instead of being permanently attached to the station... however it will be able to dock with CSS from time-to-time for maintenance and upgrades...

But what intrigues me is whether once docked the astronauts can enter Xuntian and perform the maintenance/upgrade work from the inside instead of from the outside (as was done with Hubble)... Working from the inside (in a pressurized environment) will be much more comfortable as the astronauts won't need to use the bulky EVA suits...
