For 2 decades, the U.S. and the Soviet Union competed to be the first to conquer space. After 50 years, new space exploration emerged with China and India entering the scene. In 2011, NASA was banned from cooperating with China in aerospace. Since then, China has been competing with the U.S. over a permanent outpost and a research center on the moon. The U.S. is planning to build an outpost on the moon later this decade as part of the Artemis program, as well as China will set up a research center in a similar timeframe. A Chinese representative mentioned that competition with the U.S. has been a significant source of improvement. The first Chinese astronaut positively confirmed China's development in the space industry, mentioning he saw the strength of the reserve force from the improvement over the past 20 years.
The International Space Station is scheduled to be retired in 2031, raising the hope that China may gain dominance with the Tiangong Space Station.
