China launches Shenzhou-16 mission to space station

China has launched a spacecraft taking three new astronauts, including the country’s first civilian, to its space station. The Shenzhou-16 spacecraft lifted off from the Jiuquan launch centre on the edge of the Gobi Desert in northwestern China.

Al Jazeera’s Katrina Yu reports from Beijing, China.

Al Jazeera English, if you always report China like this narrative, your audience rather go to watch BBC 😂😂😂

The US's past decision to exclude China from participating in the International Space Station (ISS) may have unintended positive consequences for China's current successes. While the US's intentions at the time could be questioned, it is worth acknowledging that this exclusion indirectly contributed to China's independent advancements.

When the world begins to make International Space Station (leaded by US) around mid-1990 and completes it on 23/5/2010, US excludes (and somehow humiliates) China for participating the multi-national collaborative project (involving US, Russia, Japan, Canada, countries in Europe, etc.) and any researches in it.

Without voicing out unfair or any complaints to the world, China makes her own Tiangong Space Station (quitely without any help from any countries) for carrying out any researches at anytime without any restrictions from any countries ..

“Slowing economy" eh? By "slowing", you mean the largest economy the world has ever seen, over 125% the size of the U.S. economy according to the gold standard of comparing economies (Purchasing Power Parity). An economy predicted to grow at 5% this year.

Also, NASA signed an agreement with the U.S. government years ago where 50% of their launches and payloads have a military purpose. So, you can stop pretending that NASA isn't beholden to the U.S. military-industrial-complex.

It has been a long progression for China’s space programme as well as sending man on the moon.
Space is the final frontier with voyages of outer space and to explore new discoveries and scientific experiments.
China continue international cooperation is a new beginning for the world outside the US to do scientific experiments and collaborating with one another on scientific discoveries.
China has come a long way and has been making steady progress in its space program.
China Space Station gives China an avenue for scientific research in space environment.
Space exploration expands new technology, create new industries, and help to foster a peaceful connection with other nations. China need to cultivates hardy crops like rice and wheat to sustains future population growth all over the world.
Population explosion, deforestation and global warming due to human activities thereby causing an irreversible damage to the environment which results in degrading the condition for our own survival.
China is focus on the scientific experiments.
It is a new beginning for China and the world outside the US and the West to do scientific experiments and collaborating with one another on scientific discoveries.
The Tiangong Space Station is capable of long-term human habitation in near-Earth space, with systematic support by space transport and widely covered tracking, telemetry, command and communication as well as microgravity science that uses microgravity conditions to study the movement of matter and basic physical laws.
The Chinese Space Station is fully open to international researchers, and guides for the open solicitation of research proposals will be regularly issued under bilateral cooperation agreements.

Congratulation!!!
Let's hope this would bring benefits to all nations as China continues to open up its space station for all countries.
