Chinese space debris? Danger, watch out, it could fall on you! American space debris? It’s a cinematic, dazzling light show!

Because what? They envy China now have their own Large Space Station (CSS)

uh-huh...is this another Chinese vision of grandeur...

World vs China, LOL.. The comparison itself tells a lot.

We warn when stuff is coming down vs complete silence from the Chinese space agency. Those people in Africa had no advanced warning from China...as if China gives a @#$% about Africans.

Pandemonium in 1979 when the US announced SkyLab was coming down..and we didn't know where.

Really? Why no warning from SpaceX and nobody condemn it?

Debris from SpaceX rocket launch falls on farm in central Washington

A piece of debris from a SpaceX launch has turned up on someone's farm in central Washington, local authoritis reported Friday (April 2) — about one week after the falling rocket debris sparked reports of "shooting stars" the U.S. Pacific Northwest.

Why China space station 1/4 size of ISS can produced 100mw power vs ISS 80mw?

Outdated junk of ISS?

not just yours, + russia+ europe + canada etc.

didn't russia announce they will quit soon?

and ISS scheduled to de-orbit within a few years, who is laughing?

It's 100% the US with the US bankrolled the russian part after the collapse of the USSR to give soviet rocket scientists something else to do.

Then call it US space station instead.

bullshit, Europe and japan didn't spend money? next time lie, please lie better

US propaganda debunked once again:

The US propaganda machine is performing its usual skilful manipulations over a Chinese rocket that’s due to fall back from space this week. Just look at how mainstream media covers SpaceX’s discarded junk, compared to Beijing's.
Last week, China launched its new space station into orbit. Using its new Long March 5B vehicle rocket, the core module was successfully placed into orbit. Mission accomplished. But now, all the focus is on the debris of the rocket, and where exactly it will fall back to Earth.
Despite the fact that this is a common process and hardly one which China dominates, the mainstream media have whipped up a hysteria over the perceived risks of the “space junk,” raising fears it could hit something – a hysteria which has been egged on by the United States’ secretary of defence. Beijing, on the other hand, has argued the debris will fall into international waters, pointing out how the media are hyping up the “China Space Threat.”

This is a classic example of the success and modus operandi of American propaganda, the ability to create ‘talking points’ and ‘discourse’, which drives attention towards given issues, utilizes the power of ‘assumptions’ and ‘popular understanding’, and subsequently places them in the public consciousness, inciting fear and distrust.

In reality, space debris falls to the Earth all the time. Sure, we cannot discount the fact that it may cause damage or injury, as may this one. Yet that isn’t where the global conversation leads. Debris from Elon Musk’s SpaceX falls to Earth and onto people’s property all the time, but we don’t portray his starships as a threat to the world or something sinister. Why might this be?

The answer is that the United States has a vested geopolitical interest in discrediting all things related to China, and it has a very skilled playbook to do so. Only two weeks ago, “the US strategic competition bill” pertaining to Beijing pledged up to $300 million dollars on a year on emphasizing “negative news” regarding Beijing’s Belt and Road projects. Yet this is not an isolated incident, it is an all-embracing approach. Here, I detail the three specific tactics of how the United States, its associated think-tanks and media allies, seek to vilify various things from China in order to secure geopolitical trust, advance containment, and discredit the country’s products, services, and innovations.


1. Transparency

The first tactic the US uses, usually when confronting something from China which involves the dynamics of safety or statistics, is to accuse Beijing of “lacking transparency” and hiding information which poses a danger to the public. The most obvious and frequent use of this strategy has been related to Covid-19, whereby Washington has repeatedly accused China of concealing the “full extent” of the pandemic at home in order to escalate a blame game to advance geopolitical confrontation. Chinese-made vaccines also frequently receive this treatment. The space debris fears represent the same game. To accuse China of hiding or failing to disclose something to arouse distrust and fear.

2. Forced labour and human rights abuses

If the United States seeks to discredit a specific product made in China, or an industrial sector as a whole, the strategy is to link it to allegations of forced labour and human rights abuses in the Xinjiang autonomous region in order to legitimize banning it on human rights grounds, or to force supply chain shifts. This doesn’t have to be strictly proven, but simply speculated, and is always employed on a “guilt by association” label. This was first used in application to cotton in the region, but then recently has been extended to solar panels. It has also been used to legitimise sanctions against technology companies such as Huawei and Hikvision, arguing that they are complicit in the oppression of Uighurs.


3. Surveillance and espionage

Finally, if the given target is not data-related or linkable to Xinjiang, but more technology-related, the US will accuse them of espionage and “sending data to the Communist Party.” Although never actually proven, Washington aggressively used this talking point to undermine Huawei’s participation in 5G across the West. The Trump administration also used this tactic more ambitiously, attempting to ban the popular video social media application TikTok. Some senators have even taken this talking point to bizarre extremes, arguing that Chinese-built subway metro cars and airport boarding gates were committing espionage, in order to justify protectionist policies. But this strategy has also been used against human targets too; it is a popular claim amongst US politicians to suggest all Chinese students in the West are in fact spies, with Mike Pompeo having openly alleged that.

In conclusion, the obsessive hysteria over the debris of a Chinese rocket might be based on something which could happen, but it has a very obvious political purpose. American politicians, think-tanks and associated media are seeking quite openly to influence the global conversation against China by orchestrating ‘talking points’. They have summarized a specific number of tools to do so. All one has to do to recognize the foul play on this issue is to search how the media treats the debris from America’s SpaceX, and how it treats that from China.

Lol at clowns from US propaganda bullhorns.

Final word is it went down in Indian ocean, so much western propaganda, so much drama,

sorry to disappoint white supremacists and bhakts again

 

[Reashot Xigwin]

bullshit, you need russia give you a ride till last year

LOL the history of the ISS is that is created by the US to give soviet scientists something to do so they won't go to North Korea or other despotic regimes for works.

Like it or not NASA is the only serious game in space.

if you are the only game, then why you need pay russia for a ride for more than 10 years?

didn't the west hate Russia to death?

oh how much is the ride? 10 million for each person?

 

[Hamartia Antidote]

World vs China, LOL.. The comparison itself tells a lot.

LOL! Your space station is even tiny compared to the US SkyLab station from almost 50 years ago.

Something this large is way beyond your current capabilities...or even comprehension...it was done in a SINGLE lift...not connected pieces from multiple launches.

 

[beijingwalker]

LOL! Your space station is even tiny compared to the US SkyLab station from almost 50 years ago.

But you guys can't do what you used to be able to do, a clear sign of fast declining all across the board. You guys put all the resources and money in a race with USSR back then, it was never meant to be sustainable, China is not in a rush or compete with anyone, we take one thing at a time.

The Russian space agency are bankrolled by the US.

The US even modernize Russia's nuclear reactor for free after the collapse of the soviet.

Hahaha butthurt again


That's the first phase (2021-2022). They have second phase too (2022-2025)

Chinese always make 2 Module/Spacecraft in order as backup, like their Chang-e mission.
So at this moment, they have in total 6 Module.



With each module weight about 22.5 tonnes x 6 = 135 tonnes + Xuntian Telescope module 25 tonnes + 2 Shenzhou + Tianzhou = That's bring the total almost 200 Tonnes of Chinese Space Station (CSS) in 2025
