Explainer: Why is China building a new space station?

For more:

A space station is a giant lab orbiting the Earth in outer space. Currently, there is only one orbiting international space station, to which China has no access. So why is China building its own space station?

[kulatejataujongana]

As we were banned by NASA since 1998 till now and we have to find a way out.
The only solution is to build ourselves our very own space station
Thank you USA for indirectly boosting China's space development and industry

China ISS is truly international. US ISS is a political platform that happens to be a space station for US and its close friends.

I'd love to see astronauts from the Global South. People from Latin America, Africa, Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands also deserve a chance to go to space.
