To share the burden of American on an spacecraft that it will not last until 2020 before it fall back on earth...by that time the only space station remaining on Space is China. Americans knew that and they're panicking to decide the fate of their future exploration and space leadership.
I'm totally against the partnership even we go with slow step in space exploration: why should we want to be slave and take order from other when we can be master of our own with unlimited power and freedom to decide the path of Chinese future exploration...LMAO
As the article state clearly, in order to prevent China to become potential leader or competitor in space it's U.S interest to grant "partnership" and let U.S to lead...only Idiots will want to be in this club.
China should enjoy the fruit of it own labor it's more prestigious and tastety.
Don't worry, these people don't speak for the administration, and the administration is definitely against a partnership with no accountability. There is no reason we should partner with a country that doesn't respect our IP and would shackle us with their own onerous restrictions and bureaucracy.
It speaks volumes if they viewed a partnership as slavery, we want no part in such a poisonous relationship.
To say nothing of it being impractical with respect to the problem it is being billed as a solution for.
We would be much better served by partnering with our own vibrant commercial sector, which is increasingly the current course in fact.
