Reply to comment by fluffy_assassins in China’s space station is almost complete — how will scientists use it? by BalticsFox

Collaboration lol USA banned China from visiting the ISS.

>China is not a partner in the ISS and its astronauts have not been able to access the station. US rules prohibit NASA, a participating agency in the ISS, from engaging in bilateral partnerships with China.

They say the experiments will be made public and they're partners with other UN members.

I know about the sanctions, that's why I asked.

It sounds like the scientific community overall benefits from there being 2 and not just 1.

But at the same time... sanctions mean that China had to build their own, which could constitute competition.

See why I asked?

u/-Baloo thought they were doing a good thing by educating you, but instead their time was wasted. Maybe you could be honest next time?

The congressional ban against collaborating with China, you know, the ban u/fluffy_assassins was pretending to be unaware of. And is grateful to have learned about, when they already knew about it.
