        Oh look, the far left version of Conservipedia.

        ProleWiki remains a Marxist-Leninist encyclopedia as an inalienable principle of the project. ProleWiki is not Wikipedia, and does not claim to be neutral or unbiased. ProleWiki is not a catch-all Marxist encyclopedia that lets all currents and ideologies express themselves equally: it is a proletarian encyclopedia, and we believe Marxism-Leninism to be the most advanced revolutionary theory towards the liberation of the proletariat.

        Great source. 🙄

    Don’t worry guys, if we ever discover FTL space travel, the USA has a plan in place to ensure outer space will remain a corporate monopoly just like on Earth ^/s

    I hope this will spur another space race, I’ve been watching for all mankind and it’s a shame we haven’t progressed as quickly in this regard as we could have.

    Speaking at the paper’s launch, Bridenstine believed it was important to create communication channels, noting that Nasa was not allowed to directly engage with its Chinese counterpart without congressional approval.

    Critical support for the US govt. ostracizing itself for sinophobic and anti-communist attitudes held by geriatric white supremacists and genocide enjoyers.

    The US should be banned from the international space field. All they think about is colonization and atrocity. China is much better suited for coordinating space expeditions with other nations.

        I don’t know if this is suppossed to be a meta-commentary/joke or not. I never said both of those things.

        China is more suited for space coordination because of its productive capacity and cooperation with other nations. China will not seek to “own” outer space but to instead integrate space travel as a way to benefit itself and the world. China can care for its citizens, the US is quickly losing the ability/will to do so.

        Why not try to reflect on the fact that the US only cares about space travel when China seems to overtake them ever so slightly?

        I don’t care what you really feel about China, but to interpret my support for China leading the space field as ignorance is just projection.

            Is China shipping billions of dollars in weapons to Israel as they, in 3 months, have dwarfed Ukrainian civilian casualties over 2 years? No? Well…

            Did China instigate a coup of Pakistan’s democratically-elected leader? No?

            Is China the only country voting against the Right to Food pursuant to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 25)? No?

            Hm.

              Oh look! Whataboutisms! Even when called out directly… It’s laughable

                Your claim is that China is just as ill-intentioned. It’s not whataboutism to point out how that statement is wrong, because you brought that statement up yourself.

                  It is, because China also has many things we can point to, which you don’t even mention. I already acknowledged the US’s imperialist actions, there was no need to elaborate on it, that isn’t disproving me. If you were discussing in good faith, there would be no need to further elaborate on an agreed fact. The burden is on you to prove to me that China is not like that.

              That’s just terribly false. All we have to do is spend 10 minutes looking at China’s official statements towards some of their active international intentions to see proof otherwise. This comment will likely be deleted because it doesn’t follow your narrative (just like my previous), but your statements aren’t convincing anyone.

              Are these the same global south countries that China is building things at prices they know they can’t pay back so that they can seize them later or the China that is currently trying to take over huge parts of the ocean that belong to others under international law?

                Typical projection. China is not charging the usury rates & terms that the IMF and World Bank famously do in order to put Global South countries into debt traps. And they’re not creating 800+ extraterritorial military bases to enforce them like the US has.

          Can we apply this methodology of Chinas in how they treat their neighbors, and “wont seek to “own” outer-space” and do so at the benefit of the world and compare it to how they treat Taiwan, Hong Kong, and international waters? Oh to shreds you say?

            No one in the region considers the South China Sea to be international waters.

            Everyone just disputes who’s waters they should be. Don’t talk about things you know nothing about.

                It’s the same concept where not even Taiwan claims they’re a sovereign and independent state: they’re the rightful government of all of China (including Mongolia).

          China will not seek to “own” outer space

          Let’s see China get out of other nations’ ocean space first and then we can talk about outer space.
