What's new

US is banned frm Chinese space station by US gov

.
We respect the laws of the USA.
We regret that Americans cannot visit our space station.

Huge leap in space technology by China!! Kudos!!!

A little surprised to see India's flag in the participants list though...

Russia shall use ISS to threaten US. Give them the ultimate to withdraw support from Ukraine or ask Zelensky to back down by end of this year. If not, Russia will forcefully separate Russia module from ISS and make ISS inoperable by early 2023. The main module of ISS is the core everything is based on it.

The US has more to lose if ISS is inoperable. Russia has little to lose for ISS but they cannot afford to lose Ukraine war.

You should be surprised that Japan is on the list.

Usually the Chinese people don't care about India.
No, I am more surprised about India. China and Japan despite their historical differences and hostility they have not let that affect their trade/business ties and investments in each other country. They tend to separate business and science from politics.
It hasn't been the case for India, who usually link both together and limits businesslike Chinese companies on its soil depending on the political climate between both countries . So yes I'm more surprised to see India even applying for science projects on China's space station than Japan , due to the deterioration of relations between both countries .
Moroever, it doesn't matter if the average Chinese person cares about India or not. What matters is how the government cares and how she formulates her policy vis a vis the country..and yeah the Chinese government and policy makers do care .

rankly, I don't see when a relationship deteriorates. India has made effective restrictions on economic and trade. In 2019, China exported $74.8 billion to India, while in 2021 it was $97.5 billion.

Yeah that's buying the necessary equipments needed for the functioning of some industries needed in India. In short its necessities. Not like India can afford not to trade or buy necessary goods from China. However Chinese businesses have been targeted alot since thr border flare up and many have even closed/left India altogether, Chinese apps have been banned(some were the most popular apps in India beating even US apps) and suffered losses due to this, Chinese construction companies have been completely banned from tendering or winning any projects in the country , and any Chinese (or undercover neighbouring country) investment in the country is now by law subsequent to Indias government approval which discourages even the few Chinese companies who might have had intentions to invest. Etc etc. So many measures have been taken to target companies from China from operating in India .

With so many restrictions, however, that didn't stop India's imports from rising by 30% two years later. In addition, exports to India in the first half of 2022 continued to grow by 37% year-on-year. The overall export trend continues to rise. So I don't think it's an effective restriction, it's just a political show.

As I said India imports are different from FDI/setting up companies intge country. In fact many countries do import from China out of necessity. Indias import rise from China is even more than before due to the after covid low-down effects and freeing penup demand with companies recovering from such a crisis and renewing purchases of critical goods needed to run their companies..it doesn't change the investment hostile climate in India for chinese companies, reason many chinese companies either cut their investment, closed down, left or abandoned their investment plans altogether in india. The latest was the scrapping Great Wall motors planned $1billion investment in india and sacking of all its Indian staff. Lol https://www.reuters.com/business/au...ion-india-investment-plan-sources-2022-07-01/


There are several others like that. The investment environnment isn't conducive for chinese companies at the moment. They are all lying low. That's what I mean.
Chinese investment fell from billions of dollars pre 2020 border row to just barely 200million dollars the whole of last year. This year is forecast to be even lower . So go figure. 😅
