According to the plan, China will carry out more than forty space launch missions this year, one of the highlights of which is the completion of the "Tiangong" space station; due to the budget instability of the International Space Station, the space departments of Russia, Europe and other countries also attach great importance to cooperation with China in the space station, and China's voice in the space field is getting higher and higher, which makes India's eyes red - unsurprisingly: India also wants to build its own space station.
According to India's Eurasian Times reported on January 17, Jitendra Singh, minister of atomic energy and space development, announced that India's first space station will be completed in 2030, and the "long-awaited" first manned space program "Gaganyaan" is scheduled to start this year.
Seriously, we have felt the spirit of "optimism" in India more than once, regardless of the occasion, and this "brick family" really does not know the truth about India's so-called pursuit of China?
In terms of nuclear tests, China has established an effective nuclear deterrent system, has India conducted tests of combat nuclear warheads? China is "not using a sword", provided that it "has a sword in its hand"; India is "whether there is a sword or not" is Schrödinger's cat, and the so-called nuclear deterrence capability is only its own words, and has not really been demonstrated.
As for the lunar probe, we really can't understand how a "fragmented" landing can be compared with China's many successful moon landings.
Among other things, the Indian Navy destroyer Ranvir exploded at the Mumbai Naval Shipyard on January 18, killing three naval personnel and injuring 11 others, the ship's second major accident since October 2021 – warships of such quality that anyone would doubt India's ability to develop such sophisticated equipment as the space station.
We don't despise comparing ourselves to India, but India always compares themselves with their half-hanging face projects, and we all feel that it is an insult. Of course, whether it is a space station project or a manned space program, we will not "curse" India will fail, after all, we are not Washington, we will only "draw a circle to curse you", on the contrary, we sincerely wish India success. Everyone understands that in terms of the "laws of history", don't make hundreds of millions of dollars of fireworks, you are already Amitabha.
Some elites in India always describe the gap between India and China as "only a little bit", as if they can be surpassed in a blink of an eye. At the beginning of reform and opening up, the GDP of the two countries was almost the same, and India was a little higher than China. More than 40 years later, China's GDP will reach $18 trillion by 2021, more than three times that of India.
Before 2020, the Western media always described India as "the new world factory that will replace China", "the democratic model of the developing countries", and "the center of the future world"; but now the world knows that the gap between India and China is almost a "five thousand years up and down".
We also know that India is indeed making progress, but that progress should not be compared to China all day; if India achieves success in the space industry, it should first serve the Indian people, not to show off in front of others, nor should it become a tool for New Delhi politicians to ask for credit, let alone a geopolitical chip.
China has never competed with the United States, but the achievements we have made today make the United States blockade of China a laughingstock; China will never compete with India, whether It launches a spacecraft or a big firework, it will not have any impact on us - on the journey to the sea of stars, we have our own rhythm, so we just want to say to India:
You can be happy with yourself, but don't cue!
