China Flexes its Space Prowess Turing the US Away!

Since 2011, the U.S. space agency has been banned by Congress from collaborating with China. Now China is leading its own efforts in space while turning the US away. China has already selected the first group of 16 countries that will work on nine projects involving the Tiangong, including Russia and Pakistan. The US-led International Space Station (ISS), which is the only other space station in orbit so far, has a new partner or may be a rival.
