Since April, the Tianhe core module of the Chinese space station, Tianzhou 2 and Shenzhou 12 have been launched successively and successfully docked. The three astronauts of Shenzhou 12 have successfully completed the mission of exiting the capsule. China has continuously made new achievements in the field of manned spaceflight. These achievements have taken an important step towards the realization of the "three-step" strategy and made China once again the focus of the world.

It is not easy for China's aerospace industry to achieve what it is today. In the past, China was relatively backward in science and technology, and the domestic society had low support for the aerospace industry. Facing the technological blockade and isolation of the international community, China did not gain a place in international cooperation in the aerospace field. Over the past few decades, China's aerospace industry has developed vigorously and has ranked among the top in the world. From "Project 714", "Project 863" to "Project 921", China has always been adhering to the spirit of independent innovation, constantly tackling difficulties, and taking a solid path to the long space march.

The successful launch of Shenzhou 12 and the Chinese entry into our own space station for the first time marked that China's spaceflight officially entered the space station era and opened a new chapter in manned spaceflight. This historic breakthrough has not only aroused the attention of the Chinese, but also attracted the attention of people from all over the world.

The space agencies of many countries congratulated China, and the Russian Federal Space Agency also commented: “China has taken a confident step forward. China and Russia will surely become long-term and reliable partners in the fields of near and deep space exploration.” Jonty Horner, a professor of the Department of Aeronautics at the University of Southern Queensland in Australia, believes that China is already “a well-deserved space frontier country”.

China is moving steadily towards the third phase of the "three-step" strategy and is expected to complete the construction of the space station in 2022. After the decommissioning of the International Space Station in 2024, China may become the only country with a space station.

The China Space Station will become a new platform for exploring the universe, and it will also provide a new breakthrough for technological innovation. On the one hand, the space station is a powerful testament to China's strength. Taking the space station as the base point, China can better develop space resources and further enhance comprehensive national strength and international status. On the other hand, the space station can provide a long-term and stable experimental environment and is an excellent place to establish a space experimental base. China is expected to achieve technological breakthroughs in the fields of biology, communications, materials, and medical treatment, and these technologies will be applied to all aspects of people's lives and bring huge economic and social benefits.

China will always keep in mind the responsibilities of a great power and actively carry out multilateral cooperation to enhance the well-being of all mankind. China resolutely opposes technology monopoly and advocates equal participation of all entities and work together to jointly promote the development of human aerospace industry. China will open up to the world with an inclusive mind, help backward countries break through technical difficulties to participate in space governance together, and further promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind. At present, China has selected 9 experimental projects from 17 countries and will start the first round of cooperation in the future. At the same time, it also welcomes more countries to join the cooperation team.

China's aerospace will enter a new era of rapid development. In the future, China will continue to fight steadily, adhere to the principle of mutual benefit, actively promote international exchanges and cooperation, and contribute China's strength to mankind's in-depth exploration of space.
