Ah, the classic move—pointing to isolated achievements as a rebuttal to systemic critique. Yes, China has made strides in space exploration, but listing a few programs doesn’t erase the broader reality of Western dominance in orbital governance and military presence.
The issue isn’t about who can build a space station or return moon samples; it’s about who dictates the rules, monopolizes treaties, and weaponizes “defense” initiatives under the pretense of global security. The West’s grip on these levers of power remains unchallenged, despite China’s advancements.
Try addressing the actual argument next time: the selective militarization of space and its implications for global equity. Or is that too inconvenient for your narrative?
