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.

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.

Ah so you made my point anyway

[–] intelshill@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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).

Tibet

[–] intelshill@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Not even the British considered Tibet to be independent lol

And yet the argument was never “do these places need to be independent?” But “can China be trusted with dominion over space based on how they treat international waters and their neighbors.” You will notice that i did not specify any particular action or event. But you are already here with excuses for events and actions. Hence me mentioning that you are making my argument for me. Because you did that i already know, you know i am right to not trust china, and also you have a vested interest in me not being right.
