I don’t understand. Why can’t China have its own lunar projects? Why is it deemed as competing against the USA? Is exploring the moon exclusive to Americans? No other countries allowed to land in the moon at all? Why aren’t you be happy as fellow humans for the progress made by China?

It’s been 80 years Germany still lives under the shadow of the US

Germany: we need to go too. Let us get approval from US first

All must remember that China initially politely asked the US administration for joining the ISS and other space projects. Unfortunately, US said "NO!" and now just look what China currently developing on its own projects.

It is rare to see that China's space industry was reported relatively rationally and objectively in Germany before, but the title was obviously too sharp. China officials never said that China would dominate space, but hoped that countries could cooperate with each other, and this lunar exploration included French, Italian and Pakistani lunar probes.

😅😅😅 2011： China has been barred from the ISS since 2011, when Congress passed a law prohibiting official American contact with the Chinese space program due to concerns about national security. 2022 April 27: NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said on Tuesday China continues to display a lack of transparency and willingness to cooperate with the United States in China space station. 😅But he forgot it is against the U$A law for China to have contact with NASA . 😆[you are not allowed to access my house, but you must allow me to access your house]😆

Germany:my dad doesn’t allow me to have it.

Years ago China wanted to participate in the development and construction of Europe's Galileo satellite navigation system, but the white gangs of the European Union and the United States of America took China's money but broke the contract to exclude China, so China decided to develop its own satellite navigation system independently, so now China has its own completely independent intellectual property rights of the BeiDou satellite to the system, the accuracy parameters of the BeiDou system beat the United States of America's GPS satellite navigation system. Similarly, many years ago, China wanted to participate in NASA's space research, but the United States enacted a law prohibiting NASA from having any contact with China on space research, so the Chinese independently developed and built the most advanced, youngest and safest Tiangong Space Station for human beings, and at the same time, the Tiangong Space Station is also open to other countries, but the United States, due to its own laws, NASA will not be able to participate in the China's Tiangong Space Station. Now the U.S. and Europe are carrying out the restriction and blockade of China on advanced chips and AI, so China has decided to develop and build advanced process lithography and AI chips independently again, so it is certain that soon the advanced process lithography and AI chips made in China will flood the global market.

Don't worry. Hollywood will make sure Americans land on the moon before the Chinese

aliens: good job human DW:China‘s moon ambitious is a threat to western democracy

DW does not dare to name all the European instruments (from Sweden, France and Italy) on board because it will make China sound too open and popular among European countries.

US drop bombs China drop moon rover

China is doing some amazing stuffs! Congratulations China From India ❤️ 🇮🇳🇨🇳

Germany waiting for directions from their master the US.

"Domination" is strictly a western concept. All you have to do is look at how brutal western colonialism has been in the past few centuries and you will understand how ridiculous it is for them to accuse China is doing the same. The high standard of living and wealth in the west has been achieved through colonization, and the ongoing looting of natural resources from developing countries. Western nations such as the US, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia were all founded on slavery, and the genociding of the indigenous population. China in contrast, developed peacefully without invading countries on the otherside of the world, pilaging, slavery, genocide. It's not a coincidence that all western countries who have had a history of colonialism, slavery, genocide are the same ones accusing China of being "aggressive" and "genociding" the Uyghurs with ZERO evidence while also turning a blind eye to the genocide that is going on in Gaza. China has proven to the world that there is an alternative model to the western one and because of this, the west feels threatened.

The time they made their own space station without working with other country. They already become dominant space power.

US wanted to make a fool out of China. But instead, the US made a fool of itself. Let that be a lesson.

The most scary part is how YOUNG those Chinese team members generally are!

China is not doing this to compete with USA but rather its a humanity endeavor. Being a huge country, China must undertake such a humanity tasks and others should appreciate that China is taking these up and not spending its wealth elsewhere.

Congratulations china for incredible engineering work Science and hard work ,alone china doing work its amazing Its greatest competitive nation to america

China had already brought moon samples from the near side in Chang'e-5 mission. This time they are trying the far side.

They say the first country to land a rover on the far side of the moon and forget the most important part: that it is the only country to do so by far.

Forgot to add in the heading 'But at what cost?!¡'

US needs to sanction the Moon for allowing Chinese probe landing on its surface😅

Congratulations 🎉to China 🇨🇳

Why do you always frame anything China does in a negative light? "DOMINATE SPACE!??" Can't you just appreciate and be a postive contributing member of our shared humanity?

China has the greatest manufacturing capacity. US has the greatest clown production capacity and the greatest national debt.

All I can say is that China has already proven a very capable, very capable space program. Not reported all that much here in USA. Congratulations to all involved in this venture to far side of the moon, hope everyone's gear works as planned and best wishes from here in the USA.

Amazing work by the Chinese scientists and engineers. Congratulations

China helping other also wrong ? The rest also has the rights to develop , not only the west. 11 Oct 2020 - Nasa chief warns US Congress about Chinese space station ：China is helping African countries in the development of their space program by providing technological and financial support,”

🤣Western midia... --> If west leading , " for mankind " .. --> If not west leading , " dominant " , "Oh NO!!, China going to 00ccuply the moon "

This is not "far more ambitious", it is a logical small step forward.. They mentioned China did a one way mission in 2019 with soft landing on far side, but they did not mention Change 5 which was in 2020 December, where China successfully did a two way sample return mission, the first since the 1970s.. This is just combining and advancing change 4+5 missions. Sample return and far side of the moon. China has done both before and now doing both together. This is also far easier than China's mars rover mission which combined 3 missions in 1. Orbiter, lander, and rover. No one has done sample return mission from Mars yet which is the next step.

"One small step for man, one great step for mankind?"

If China can make alternative EUV Litography machine or factory, I will send my kids study at Chinese University.

Err ... "how close is China from" ... it is ALREADY a dominant space power, right? How many permanent space stations are there in space, in total? DW have you been sleeping all this time?

The West shall not discriminate China because China choose one party system instead of using two party system. One party system let China develop much faster. Nowadays China is much more developed than India, Brazil , Indonesia or other developing countries. Its streets are also cleaner and safer than most developed countries. Its life expectancy is already 2 years longer than US life expectancy and 9 years longer than India life expectancy . Expressway length in China reach 177,000 kms vs US 76,000 kms and India 4,900 kms. High speed railway length in China reach 42,000 kms vs both 0 kms in US and India. On top of that, China is also number 1 in many fields such as electricity generation, motor vehicle production (30 million per year), steel and cement production, ship building capacity( China ship building capacity is 232 times greater than US ) while it is nowhere 50 or 70 years ago. Take life expectancy of both China and US as example. In 1950 China life expectancy is about 38 vs US 68. After 71 years, in 2021 China life expectancy is 78.2 vs US 76.1( latest figure by CDC , US life expectancy dropped by 3 in 2020-2021 period from 79.1 originally). China expectancy increase by 40 years while US increase by 8 years only. China life expectancy increase 5 time faster than US. Also Look at health care by comparing MMA rate( maternal mortality rate): in 1950 China maternal mortality is 1500 women death per 100,000 birth vs US 100 women death per 100,000 births. In 2021, China MMA is 16.1 vs US 23.8 per 100,000 (the lower the number , the better health care service level) . Infant mortality rate: in 1950 China infant mortality is 195 death per 1000 birth vs US 26.8 death per 1000 births. In 2021, China infant mortality rate drop to 5 per 1000 vs US 5.4 per 1000 birth. And people in China retire at 55 years old on average to access pension. About 12 years earlier than US's 67 years requirement while some countries may not have pension at all. It means an American need work extra 40*52*12=25,000 hrs in his life than an average person in China. It also means an American only has 9 years to enjoy retirement while an average person in China has 23 years to enjoy retirement. And it is not means or asset tested when access pension in China. It means you get your pension monthly even you stay overseas, are a multi-millionaire or have another job after retirement. Singapore is another example of one party system. Its gdp is highest among Asia.

US : we need $100 billions and 10 years to make moon rover, China : $10 millions is enough for the 6 months homework

In Groningen Nederland I follow CGTN streaming of Rocket Launches in China. Fabulous. I love it ❤️ Wish China lot of succes and greeting the Taikonauts in China Space Station.👍🙂🌹🌹🌹

США в своих фильмах все время пугает мир Китаем, но на самом деле мир пугает США своей агрессией) А Китай весьма мирный народ и страна прекрасно развивается вперёд. Некий симбиоз коммунизма и частного имущества.

In the head of the US and its allies, it's always about power and dominance. Words like scientific discovery and cooperation are secondary.

我們又成功了 我是中國香港人 我的國家幾乎每天都在發射火箭 我們甚至不會覺得驚訝 就像吃飯睡覺一樣 😄

DW sounds as if China is lagging behind India etc. in moon exploration and "don't" want to be left behind these countries. In fact, this is already "Chang'e Six" moon mission.

US Congressman : Why NASA is not going to the far side of the moon? NASA Head : That is the DARK side of the moon. We are not going there because nothing to see.

EU missed the train. Not only Germany. The China High Speed Train.

You forgot to add “but at what cost” on the title 😂

The reality is China has already been the dominant space power beside the States. They're even better than the states in certain aspects. Since all the space technology equals military and missile capabilities, that's where the anxieties of the NASA and States came from. 😂😂

The full room of young Chinese scientists are truely inpressive

"How close is China from becoming a dominant space power?" It already is when it made its space station fully operational with potential to expand it. What's more China built it on its own in less than two years, whereas it took ten years to build the ISS, and that was a multi national effort.

Congratulations on launch 🎉

They have their own international space station.

While Americans are still thinking about how to dominate the world, the Chinese have already flown into space.

这次巴基斯坦🇵🇰也参与项目了，中巴友谊万岁，很棒的兄弟国家🇨🇳🇵🇰🎉🎉

nasa現在大概在想 要是再整一次好萊屋登月 不知道會不會穿幫

Hello DW, i don’t think China will ever think to become a dominant power in space exploration. The word dominance only more suitable to be used on the world warmongering expansionist sole superpower and that’s the USA.

What is their obsession with china

every mission will only get more and more complicated and sophisicated.

When the Chinese do something it's unprecedented 😂

Pakistani mission was as well carried, seem that China and Pakistan have good relationship.

Healthy competition rather than military alliances competition is good for the world.

But we have Superman, Batman, Spiderman, Ironman, Aquaman and so on...

🇧🇷❤🇨🇳

Why US not send a human to moon again? Did US really send human to moon? I can't believe it as America cant do the same in 2024

Darth Vader: You don't know the dark side of the force. Nelson: We don't know the far side of the moon😂😂😂there is nothing but darkness🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This womans tone and language ooze nothing but contempt and prejudice.

Congratulations to Chinese scientists ❤you are the best and good luck on your following process 🎉

imo the next 'hasn't been done before' is a permanently habituated lunar base.

US didn’t go there because it is dark (according to head of NASA) 😂

was anybody watching the live version of the rocket blasting off yesterday 🤩

Congratulations, this is great progress！！！

US banned China to join in ISS. Now the US begs China for cooperation😂

While US was busy fighting goat herders on flip flop, China was developing Beidou Satellite Navigation system with 10cm accuracy.

Amazing

As a Chinese, I want to correct your mistake that we are not compete with anyone, we just have curiousity as anyone did, we have a plan purely by our technical capabilities.

Germany: i want to go moon mission but my father dint allow, usa

不管美国再怎么制裁打压，中国人还是会向前发展。因为最大的人权是活着和发展的权利！

At 4:49, most engineers in the control room look very young, around 30 years old?

When I think about the whole progress, I feel it is so amazing!

US Might have lied about their space missions (cinematics of the moon exploration when they shown the world That might have been shot in a film studio) as they now seemed unable to even start an exploration. There were no big rocky samples other than moon dust on the surface of the moon while US bought back large rocks.😂😂😂

lmao this title. There are only two manned space stations in earth orbit. One is international, the other is Chinese. And you ask "how close" they are to becoming a dominating space power? 😂

It's amazing that how my country and my people make our way to be what we are today, without colonizing or looting others. even back to late 20th century we were described as the image of Asian sick man. never again. for me it's just the most beautiful miracle ever in the whole world

Wow! Since someone said: ‘China Taking Over Dark Side of the Moon’, I guess they might found the secret of 'dark side of Force', as Sith lord expected

Why does she uses words like ambitious or competition? Very objective and she doesn’t look happy ya.

Ayos

Competing with the USSR was one thing, competing with China forget about it! The US doesn't have a chance for one simple reason: the Chinese work ethic.

Which side is the far side of moon? The upper or under side ?

Ah, Germany. The 59th US State.

Congrat to China we love ❤️u so greatly for contributing to human development.

Who knew the belt & road initiative included the Moon?

Optimus prime will ride with that sample 😂

What is about the Spaltenmass?

in the fact, German is beginning of all rocket technology😂😂😂

At this rate, we will see a new city of Shanghai on the moon by the year of 2075

PK：Choice is often more important than effort👍

Surprised to see it say Long march in English on the side. That said, amazing looking mission, wish them luck.

Refreshing when DW does a half fair report without all the political spin.

That much close

the leader of NASA: Chinese went to the dark side!

In 1969, the American landed on the moon and sticking a US flag, flying! But there is no freaking air on the moon.

Parabéns 👏👏👏

German top scientists are too busy to figure what's going on under North Stream 2 pipeline, they ain't got no time for those kiddy solar toys😊
