The title: "The Real Reason China Developed The Tiangong Space Station!" --> They are banned from the International Space Station and programs, so it took them a long time, but there is no surprise they had to build their own space station, launch pads, rocket tech, and space ships, etc.
So, they built it, because no one else was going to help them build it. That is why they built it.
they build it because China always tries to copy everything the US does.
@@usafshorts China is contracted in this world to build 99% of all products on earth at the moment. Apple wants China to make their Iphones. Many of Tesla's parts are from China. It doesn't make sense, they make everything.
@@superheaton you forgot to mention that almost all the factories in China are from other countries and they have their own technology that was not developed by china
@J T Ochoa So with your logic we can say apple use korean display technology on iphone
@@privacyhelp yes
Historically, China was the most developed country in the world until the industrial revolution in the West. Back then, the ruling government in China had adopted centuries of closed-door policy. As a result, the Opium War broke out and knocked on China's door. After that, the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China and looted a lot of treasures and property. Not only that, China also compensated hundreds of millions of taels of gold and silver, and forced the lease of land including Hong Kong and Macau. The root cause of its failure is not only government corruption, but also technological backwardness. Cold weapons against hot weapons, bows and arrows against cannons, the Chinese army who was surprised by the hot weapons suffered heavy casualties. If you fall behind, you will be beaten. China has learned this profound historical lesson, so since the founding of the People's Republic of China, except for the dark era of the Cultural Revolution, the development of science and technology has been given priority. Today, the United States seems to be going a step further, building high walls in all aspects, using unfair competition methods, and doing everything possible to artificially hinder international scientific and technological exchanges and development, and slow down the development of human civilization. However, history has proved that this hysterical approach may slow down China's pace in the short term, but it cannot stop China's technological progress in the medium and long term. Don't assume that the scientific community in other countries supports the US approach. This kind of coercion may work in the short term, and scientists dare not speak out. But once China breaks the blockade, the United States will be left behind.
Well said.
In short, China should thank the United States for preventing China from joining the International Space Station, and thank the United States for the Wolfe Clause, otherwise, China would not have an autonomous space station.
At the end of this year, China will complete the construction of the space station. The Chinese National Aeronautics and Space Administration has announced that the Chinese space station is open to all countries in the world (now 17 countries have participated), of course, the United States is the only exception.
HHaha a middle finger to the bully 🖕🏼
Given China's history, they're probably encouraging collaboration so they can steal everyone else's tech.
lol
I hope some european astronauts come to visit tiangong and ESA cooperate also with chinese
it's the Wolf Amendment vice Wolfe Clause.
So, according to this video, the reasons China developed a hyper expensive space station are:
1. Being cool
2. Revenge the ISS ban
How about legitimate desire of space exploration? Chinese are curious about space just like everyone else.
The Chinese stubbornly believe that a very important reason for China's backwardness in the past two centuries is that they missed the Industrial Revolution. So, when it comes to emerging technologies, they don't want to repeat the same mistakes. At the same time, for high-tech research, many revolutionary technologies will be produced, which will have many positive impacts on the development of society.
3. They are using it as a military platform. It's no coincidence that we now have the Space Force. Screw the CCP, they stole all of that tech. Little shits can't innovate anything on their own. I hope we blow that thing out of the sky.

Well, just look into the far future. The seeds of disharmony have been sewn long ago. I would bet in the distant future we might have interplanetary wars between the countries who spearheaded our expansion into space. It would probably be much better for humanity, if only one group of people (even an international one) was heavily developing a space program.

@@aidoniaderubermensch4754 you are jelly go cry for mommy
@@aidoniaderubermensch4754 Dude it's the type of idea where everyone thinks they're stupid for not coming up with it themselves.
Chinese space agency always builds a backup. The long march 5 that was backup for Tiangong was the one that sent Wentian up. And Wentian's backup rocket will launch Mengtian. Every station module has a backup. Every rover also has a backup.
Wrong your a CCP agent
They must have Backups, cause there systems are just not reliable
Does it say something that only a Consortium of Western Nations could build a space station, but China built one all by themselves.
Your assumption is incorrect unless you're ignoring Skylab for some other reason. The ISS wasn't a competition, it was cooperation, something China is not so good at. Which is part of the reason Obama kicked them off the ISS. The other was China's slave labor.
@@lonefriar4700 Seriously? The Chinese built a Space Station with slave labor? How do you manage a whip in space? Is that slave labor in China the same as our Prison Labor over here, or is there some distinction? Inquiring minds want to know.
@@geraldtrudeau3223 They're built on the ground and then assembled in space comrade.
@@lonefriar4700 Well then, I guess that explains the slave labor....? Is all of that stuff that I buy from China built by slave labor? Those bastards!
It is called not caring what your people think about your budgets. One party rule means China's government doesn't care, or even really tell their people much of what is going on.
It is also call, when you have friends, why not do it together?
Nice work. This might be the best video which provides the most precise information regarding Tiangong Space Station. However there is one major thing missed in the video. Wentian Lab Module not only provides many more racks for experiments, but also functions as a full copy of the core module, including providing navigation/control/sustainable living environment etc. This means all major functionalities of the core module have a backup now. According to Chinese media, many functionalities are switched from core module to Wentian module so that the core module is working in a backup mode, and also the taikonauts are living in Wentian module instead of core module now.
Jhina.... Research? Are you serious? Isnt it just for show? That it too can create its own, whatever that is station in space? But I dont think research exist in the Jhina vocabulary.

@@tiefblau2780
idiot.
because calling a country, the only other country having space station in sky, has no research. it is dam idiot action.
It is not good that Communist China is doing this. Communist China is a big bully in its surroding region, ask Vietnam, Philillipines, Taiwain, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, etc. China steals intellectual information from foreign countries, that is why China was able to built such space stations and satellites, and various military machineries. Communist China is bad for the world peace, as they are allies with Russia and North Korea.
It looks to me that Tiangong is better designed and more modern then ISS. Well done , China !
Oh that does make sense considered the ISS is over 20 years old and this station's brand new. That should be a no-brainer.
DUH switch shoes and see what would happen. C'mon man 🤭
it should be noted that the robotic arm is not required to move the module around, the video show the arm doing it as a backup if the core module has issue with it machinery, the robotic arm can take over the mission, but it was never designed to required the arm to purpose the repositioning of the module. instead the robotic arm will be use to reposition the solar panel to the other module of the station so they will not be obstructed by new module.
China actually has a 2nd set of module available as backup, so they can double the station size by launching the backup module if there is a demand for it.
what is also interesting is because there are 6 bed in 2 module, CNSA never assign the astronaut where which bed to use, so one of the astronaut could potentially turn Mengtian into a private bedroom while the rest of the crew stay in the Tianhe. all 3 crew would however be ask to try sleeping in Mengtian for evaluation reasons, they want to know how much more noiser Mengtian is compare to Tianhe, as Tianhe has it reaction wheel installed externally so they don't create noise internally while Mengtian has it reaction wheel installed internally so the crew can access them. this will probably inform CNSA if they can get away with installing them internally for easier maintenance.
China doesn't need to justify their presence in outer space. If they can do it...they should. Kudos
It is a well designed station. That movable arm is brilliant. The interior is modern and to have private cabins for the crew, wonderful.
the arm is a knock off canad'arm 1 and 2
your toilet paper must be a knock off of Chinese paper too
The Robotic arm on the ISS can detach and reattach itself around the station as well.
"It is self-relocatable and can move end-over-end to reach many parts of the Space Station in an inchworm-like movement."
@@EricSoulliage The Canada arm moving on a fixed track, it does not walk like the Chinese arm does, the Chinese arm borrowed some elements from the Canadian arm for sure, but the reason why people think the Chinese arm is cool is precisely because it walks.
the canad'arm 1 moves on a track , the second one has grippers on both ends and was on iss before china launched its first module , I understand you don't know , kind of hard to get international new in China
US can never stop China from learning in fact it will spur them to learn more and better. Wtg China.
China 🇨🇳 is the ONLY country that have their own space station. That is amazing.

@@TheAcadianGuy lol keep dreaming lame ass
Dude, everyone copies ideas and tech. It's not just China.
All successful countries copy what works in the leading countries.
Dr. Michael Pillsbury pretends as if China’s copying of US technology for forty years was some kind of deception or was in some way unique.
In 1812, American Francis Cabot Lowell was a leading Boston merchant who imported a great deal of British cloth and had solid relations with his British counterparts. He toured British cotton plants. Lowells’ bags were searched for stolen designs for power textile weaving machinery. This was a serious crime in England. Lowell memorized the designs. Americans were also desperate to replicate Britain’s famed Sheffield steel which was the best in the world. But the best Sheffield craftsmen the United States could buy failed to replicate it.
Capitalism in its modern form was first developed in the Netherlands and England in the sixteenth to seventeenth centuries.
The Japanese knew that they were behind the Western world when American Commodore Matthew C. Perry came to Japan in 1853 in large warships with armament and technology that far outclassed those of Japan with the intent to conclude a treaty that would open up Japanese ports to trade. Japan threw open its doors to foreign technology and copied other successful aspects of the western countries. After WW2, Japan resumed copying and gained success in electronics and cars.
China fell behind and stayed behind for 100 years because China closed itself to Western innovation and technology. Lack of copying doomed China to fall behind for decades. Parts of what was China that started copying first had more success. Hong Kong and Taiwan opened up and copied starting in 1950.
Taiwan and South Korea followed Japan by copying US technology. Taiwan and South Korea also had student study in the USA and Europe and many returned to their home countries and were critical in the success of building up the major technology companies.
Why would Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong and South Korea be able to succeed and copy technology and build industries and China not be able to succeed and copy?
Because the west would use any excuse to criticize a communist party, so anything China does can be spun negatively against them. The western narrative is so repetitive and predictable. I just hope China has enough patience with the west and not fight back too early, it would mean doom for everyone.
"good scientists copy.. great scientists steal" - Albert Einstein
Great overview, very thorough research and overview, with clips from some of the bedr sources and channels on YT, like reach and dongfeng hour.
However I feel like you should have mentioned that tiangong(tianhe module) is propelled by both chemical and 4 Hall effect ion thrusters, which are used to adjust and maintain the stations orbit.
Instead of needing 4tons of rocket fuel to keep the ISS in orbit every year, it would only need 400kg to stay in orbit for the same amount of time. Much more efficient.
For comparison a trip to mars can be cut from 8 months to just 39 days.
According to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the ion drive used on tiangong has burned continuously for 8,240 hours(11 months) without a glitch, indicating that it was suitable for the space stations 15 year life
expectancy.
It is the worlds first and only Hall effect ion thrusters on a human rated mission, showing a level of confidence and maturity in the tech.
It can theoretically be used for other human rated missions, like to Mars and beyond..
It's cool as fuck IMO and seldom mentioned. Dunno why, since like I said, it's cool as fuck and the only human rated ion thrusters ever, and it's in use currently.
China is also planning to use them on future satellite constellation and also nuclear powered spaceship to mars. A human one.
China already has satellites with ion thrusters and spaceX is also planning to use them if they haven't already in star link constellation.
DongFang东方and DongFeng东风it's 2 completely different things with different meaning
Americans and Russians used ion thrusters on satellites in 90's.
I mean already in 90's

Excellent overview! Thank you! I enjoyed this! Education is power!

ok, several fact check,
first, project 921 is specific roeckt prject that is intended to used for human moon landing project
second and most importantly, chinese space station today is most due to the Wolf Amendment, which blocks any cooperation between CNSA and NASA, you can defend with whatever reasons, but blaming china on not sharing or anything from US point of view is shameful
third, this is such propaganda claim that the fallen part of chinese rockets, satalittle and etc could cause the danger, where all the previous fallen parts from chinese are all to the south pacifc and US just recently had it rocket fall into someone's farm in Australia, such a shameful and hypocritical act from US

Fantastic update on the space station!! Your channel is awesome!! Thank you very much.....
15:40 that additional core module will serve as their 17 countries space station that is separated from the original CSS station.
I really wish China good luck with the space station. Also considering the ISS is pretty old and nearing its lifetime with no successor developed, it could be pretty fast the major space station in Earth's orbit.

Chinese understanding of modern astrology began during South Song dynasty about 800 years before founding of America. The construction of their current space station was forced onto them by the US.

China technology wise achieving great heights
The Chinese space station is very cool. Especially the robotic arm that can be extended and moved. Also the fact that the future Chinese space telescope can dock with the space station for upgrades and servicing is a great idea.
Now China has their own space station, so hell with the International Space Station! They are capable to taking care of themselves period! And they are proven to be knowledgeable to handle the space technology.
yeah I dont understand why most media dont cover this space station news. A few people I talked about it were not even aware of its existence, which says much.
Because western media are trying to hide it with the news of "uncontrollable chinese rocket"
Really an awesome achievement.
US:Ban China into international space station.
China: well,so i build my own space station😉
The interior looks a lot more sane than the wire mess of IIS.
I see loops to hook your feet in - that got me thinking. Why not use velcro patches on your shoes and make velcro islands on the 'walls' to attach to..?
in the space, it is quite hard to detach it...
I wonder if the velcro fabric would fray and create lint?
@@ipfreak the hooks are way better
ISS was designed by Russia, but real world application is another story. When they built it many things had to change, and each section was built by a different country. In the end, a lot of stuff had to be rewired, cables extended...etc. plus upgrades & device additions over the years, resulted in the ghetto ass mess we see now.
Velcro wears out quicker than loops?
nice work , but I have 1 question why LEO orbit and not geosat ? long march 5 can't get to LEO ? I doubt it since they send payload further already
There are good reasons they wouldn't just add another copy of the existing modules. For one thing, any KSP player knows about the "wobbling" problem, and this station probably didn't waste a lot of weight to strengthen the rigidity beyond what they need. For another, more mass in terms of modules also means the station needs more consumables. Especially to correct the orbit or to change its attitude.
Yep. So 12 SASs in each module can save 70% fuel for "wobbling" problem.
I do hope you understand in space these is no turblance so wobbling wouldnt be an issuse
@@jetli740 Lack of rigidity is enough. No "turbulence" necessary.
@@Andreas-gh6is HA HA OH plz you make me laugh, do you know how big the joint for each section are, It the whole module conection, any wobble mean leakage that mean certain death for the crew.
Plz learn engineer before make dumb comment
@@jetli740 "big joint means no wobble" is hardly something I'd expect an engineer to say. All joints have tolerances and a certain behavior which depends on mass attached. Adding modules means more mass, and badly levered at that.
Usually people pick either sponsor bits or embedded ads lol you did a sponsor ad and then had a TH-cam ad immediately after.
why did china develope their own space station? it's banned from the space program led the west, and GPS system too was banned.
lately it's banned from the advanced semiconductor processing technology (EUV, EDA, Photoresist, etc.).
good on them…happy researching
Very impressive informative knowledge to know
Great summary. Great space station. Great science & engineering.
Given your description the final configuration could be anything because it appears to be very scalable..
great program.! thanks for so much details

(2) inform other extraterrestrial beings about Point One, so there is no confusion as to whom they are dealing with.
Where are the rockets kept in the station?
我们的目标是星辰大海，加油中国航天人！
what doesn't kill you make you stronger
Wow, great research to put all of this together... Now it makes much more sense to hear about all their launches.
Thanks for the info! When will the crew begin living/working on the station?
they already have
First crew of 3 did 3 months, 2nd crew of 3 did 6 months, and now the 3rd crew is halfway through doing 6 months. This third crew will finish the space station with the 2nd experimental module(wentian and mengtian) finally connected to the core module.
So basically main core module, and 2 side modules, each weighing like 20+ tons. There will also be the space ship Shenzhou which also docks, and cargo ship which also docks from time to time to resupply food and other supplies.
All in all very nice, cozy, clean and well designed and can comfortably fit 3-6 people permanently. Each has their own mini bedroom and living quarters, while ISS NASA astronauts have to sleep anywhere hanging off the walls and stuff with wires hanging everywhere lol.
@@ex0duzz lol you are so insecure thats funny! I hope you feel good about your country finally getting involved in space.
Very good and thoughtful design. It has many new features, is large, which makes working in this station very pleasant. I wouldn't be surprised if China becomes the absolute leader in space in a very short time 👍
The arm design is actually- and I swear I'm not lying- exactly how I was thinking it would work.. I was saying "I bet it does.." right before you said it and that blew my mind
Let's go for second space race🔥🔥😂
The Chinese are 60 years late, at least. What's left to race for? Mars? Not with the current Chinese technology. The US are blowing China out of the water in terms of launch capacity already, before Starship and SLS are online, so any attempt at a space race or even a little war between satellites would be very one-sided.
@@Andreas-gh6is No I don't think so chinease recently work alot in launching their own satellites and even now they have their own space station .They are also planning to send human to Mars
@@Andreas-gh6is I must say that you need to study before opening your big mouth! Mars? China had its prob landed on Mars May 14, 2021, and so far has map the entire Mars, which the JPL probs could not do for years! China has landed on the back sid dot the Moon and send pictures back for all nations to share, which USA and Russia could not do! Wake up! We USA need to catch up, but people like you are stopping the progress!
CSS is about 20% of the ISS in weight but the internal space is pretty close, 900 square meters vs. 912 square meters. This is because a large part of the ISS weights are solar panels and racks.
Thanks! So informative :D
How do you get this information.
Interesting video. On the last point you made, I doubt that China would use a backup core module to attach to the existing station...in my opinion, China would deploy this backup module around either the moon or Mars...
It's not designed for either mission. Also, the Chinese are already 60 years behind in the space race. Putting a space station in orbit around the moon or mars would be multiple steps ahead of where they are now.
@@Andreas-gh6is China is still catching up to the US and the West but it's doing it fast. It will probably be 2050-2100 before they overtake the West in that regard.
@@aeroripper I think China will collapse at the start of the next decade and have tougher problems at home than worrying about space stations.
@@Andreas-gh6is Yea the US has been saying that for 30 years. It's not going to happen, they can rule with an iron fist and crush dissent. I'm more worried about the US collapsing than I am China at this point.
@@aeroripper US can grow its own food. China can't. US can produce its own energy from its own fossil fuels, China can't. US can borrow money in its own currency, China can't.
The most clips in space looks quite animated...
I'm a presimistic person. Given the state of the climate and geopolitics, I believe the future of humanity after an apocalypse would be either in the space or underground.
Yea.. It's a logical move to pursuit space programmes.
Any technology that allows us to live in space or another planet can easily and more cheaply be used on earth to solve problems.
There is no such thing about turning earth inhabitable. First, we aren't that mighty, we are bugs to the planet, even if we nuke each other earth wouldn't notice it and wildlife would thrive after a nuclear wat due less humans around...
All chemicals, radiation, is all natural in massive amounts around the planet, that is how we collect it to use.
We will never turn earth into a sci Fi dystopia... We can't, we will die before. The planet would just cover everything again under vegetation, dust, water.
cheer up, man! It is not that bad! Go out and live for yourself!
Wow…very informative. Thanks
They needed a docking/transfer station for the 1km interstellar craft they are building.
I recommend researching William Tompkins who was tasked in the 50s of designing a mile long interstellar craft.
Then Research the recently declassified documents on Warp drives and portals.

From a view of a Chinese space fan, there are many mistakes and stuffs you miss, but generally it's fine, thank you to introduce to more people.
I enjoyed your presentation and video!!
China should develop / deploy a second modular Space station, to accommodate more foreign researchers / scientists, in addition to the existing one now orbiting earth. This second Chinese Space station should orbit directly on the opposite side of Earth, but at different altitude to avoid collusion.
Say this after you offer your home to foreigners
nah, the research on the station are already registered in the UN, there is no need to separate it. furthermore China need to gain alot of experience from season space engineer with 500 days space experience. and the best way to gain that is to have foreign astronaut working side by side with the chinese astronaut to learn the best practises. what you are suggesting would restrict the speed of knowledge transfer. it make no sense.
@@lagrangewei It makes sense when you factor-in the US's great concern of providing China with advance technologies, e.g chips, when US friendly nations start engaging China in Space science. In addition to CHIP4, the USA could possibly initiate Space -6 - meaning demanding 16 nations (mostly close US allies) refrain from co-operating with China on State of the Art science / technology related to Space. For all we know, all "foreign" astronauts / scientists / researches / advance space projects may have to be approved by the US's NASA to ascertain the level of scientific space technologies China could gain access to, assuming these foreign astronauts use a certain degree of US-owned software / equipment / space-related fundings.
@@donhuang9855 you have to be joking if you think US actually did this out of concern of tech. they didn't they do it to block China from having a market, even if you separate the station, US will still say it is a chinese station and ban it if they want to, that is not going to change anything. beside, chinese equipment are already on the ISS because ESA bought the equipment from China, US can't do anything. so there is no advntage ins trying to self-isolation, they won't accept yourself isolation, and they can't control it anyway.

Awesome video! Well done! 👍
One reason why most Americans don't pay attention to Chinese space news is that the CNSA is nowhere near as transparent as NASA, SpaceX, ESA, etc. JAXA is transparent, but not in English, so it's likewise not super well known. Following the Chinese space station for the past couple years has been very difficult, even with a lot of effort, because there's just so little information put out until after the fact, and even then, it's limited.
there are a lot news/updates in Chinese online communities, in Chinese.
There's a lot of news, western newspapers just chose not to report it. The opacity comes from your own media, not China.
Very informative. Thank you
I feel like the United States is behind behind in the space race
China explores space according to its own needs. There is no space race, but the United States unilaterally thinks so
By what metric?
after US passed a bill rejecting china of the ISS, now the USA insisted to be part of the chinese space station..Reaaallyyyy?..how stupid was that?😂
Thank you ,incredibly interesting and obviously extremely hard to obtain up to date information such as this . Well done looking forward to your next video but I’m just an ignorant kiwi fan
Thanks for good stuff.
By the way, in Chinese, 问天 is asking the sky/heaven, not heavenly quest
Thank you for pointing that, you are right
Could be translated as “heavenly request” or “a request to heaven”
Good video....👌...Nicely explained. 🤝
China will lead the world in all technology very soon.
I would be very surprised if that's the case tbh
Nope only leading in stealing it from everyone else the Chinese economy will collapse soon anyway do to there 0 COVID policy and manipulated economic system.
As soon as they can build their own factory machines; Germany supplies them with precision manufacturing machines that they can't hack on their own, wire forming, sheet metal stamping, etc. Look at any Chinese or Russian factory and pay attention to the controls and the tool manufactures
They need to survive their financial crisis first. But if anyone could do it, it's china.
China's strongest skill is copying other technology
Not space race but space technology research and advancement. We are one global family for the benefits of all that live on earth and across the Universe. Cooperation is better than hate politics and ugly competition
Bravo China. Long live Pakistan-China Iron brothers.
Where would you rank space x with china?
Great video again
The Chinese ought to thanks for the motivation from the American who rejected the Chinese's participation in ISS. Big mistake made by USA hagemony.
In the same situation, other countries may not be able to do this, which requires efforts and capabilities.
America is doing the same thing in semiconductor chips, they just never learn.
great work
Which module will be used to test all their space weaapons?
All of them, come and get it.
I think this is a learning exercise for future weapons development. This way it doesn’t seem threatening. ISS same story.
@@goukux5908 The ISS doesn't serve any military value. Not even in secret. Too many partners and too many eyes to keep such secrets. Better take a look at the X-37b
Ah.. the envious Indian trolls have arrived. 🙄
Great video! Thanks!
