According to NTDTV, the current International Space Station is scheduled to be decommissioned in 2030. It involves five members, the United States, Russia, Japan, Europe and Canada, but Russia will withdraw in 2024 to build its own space station.

Although China has invited many countries to join its space station research activities, the United States has not signed up. According to Beijing, the space station will host scientific projects from 17 countries, including Switzerland, Poland, Germany and Italy.

According to a recent report by the Indo-Pacific Strategic Communications Center (IPCSC), NASA Administrator Bill Nelson has warned that China may claim resource-rich regions of the Moon as its own as it intends to gain economically from space exploration.

According to the IPCSC report, China’s efforts to use its space program to transform itself into a military, economic and technological power will soon reshape the world order. In 2020, China announced plans to create a $10 trillion economic zone.

In an interview with Politico on Jan. 1, Nelson said he was concerned that China would build a research facility on a desirable area of ​​the moon and then claim it.

Last year, China built a space station that orbits the Earth and conducted several missions around the moon to extract samples. Beijing also plans to build an autonomous lunar research station near the moon’s south pole, which is expected to begin in 2025, IPCSC reported.

China is trying to win the war in space for both economic and strategic reasons. On November 27, 2022, US Space Force Chief of Staff Nina Armagno told the Australian Strategic Policy Institute that she was concerned that China would catch up and overtake the US and possibly militarize space.

According to Armagno, China is developing military space technologies such as satellite communications and reusable spacecraft such as China’s Long March 8R and Long March 9, as well as suborbital and orbital spacecraft. (Arnie)
