China's Space Station Ban

The International Space Station is the finest example of international collaboration. But China has never been allowed to join the ISS program despite the large amounts of money and technical knowledge they would bring. This video looks at the history of unlikely space collaborations and why the US banned China from working on the ISS.

China has requested many times for a decade to be included in ISS but has never got approved. So this is not really new

This is the definition of what doesn't kill you makes you stronger

When you get kicked from the Minecraft world and decide to make your own out of spite.

[sydtopia]

US: You can't come on space station.
China: We will build our own then.
US: Oh you built your own space station, can we use it.
China: No, but anyone else can.
It's pretty funny.

[NoDoubt]

If I'm not invited to the party, I'm gonna have my own party

[afsananehath]

USA: Hey you guys are not allowed in our party.
China: Fine we are going to have fun in our own party.

Thanks for the ban, China has their own space station and Chinese GPS system - Beidou after the EU ban them from joining the Galileo project

[coconutboy]

I'm here after they successfully entered their own space station. Congrats China!

I've always dreamed of giving all my passwords to random program I never heard of before

[Xeonerable]

The first international handshake in space is such a heartwarming moment. That is how it should be... a combined effort in space.

[kathychenyinggao]

I'm Chinese, and I'm truly "grateful" that US rejected Chinese to their space station. This way we developed the technology ourselves and built our own space station. Thank you for making China great again!

[Dadecorban]

It's a beautiful sentiment that space should bring us together. It's a story. I like it. It's also ridiculous. Space certainly will become just another field of human conflict.

[dragansimevski]

Imagine being on a space ship and reading Made in China on it lol

[MrStalingonzalez]

When I was 19 my dad banned me from using his car. 10 months later I bought my first car. Thanx dad.

[lin-fenglee]

Now we have our own space station with astronauts regularly on. 17 countries including Russia have applied to Chinese space agency to enter into Tian-Gong (which means the palace on the heaven) space station. US is not included because its laws forbid them cooperating with China in space techs. And apparently Chinese government is devoting to help US not to break the laws of their own.

[ProfCogito]

Don’t you find it’s quite an inspiring story? You were rejected by the big bully in your class to join the toy-car sharing club, and then by hard working, you built your own toy-car. 😂

[felixcsao]

US: you are not allowed on the ISS.
China: Fine, I will do it myself.

"Imagine that, the Space Race was just 2 countries trying to out nerd each other out"

[lampetere]

what an irony...China just launched the core part of its own space station into orbit two days ago...

[めんどくさい-mm]

my handwriting on my notebook is more incrypted than dashlane even I sometime cant read it lol.
