Therefore, it is convenient for us to formulate a three-step strategy to build an autonomous space station in 1992. Nearly thirty years have passed, and now, through the unremitting efforts of a generation of astronauts, our country is finally about to fulfill this long-cherished aspiration in space.
We insist on expending huge financial resources and energy to break through the Western technological blockade. There are two fundamental reasons for the construction of the space station. The first is based on the assessment of international political forms. The United States held high the so-called ideological stick to block the face of China's scientific and technological progress.
Will not change in a short time. In the early 1990s, after the United States refused to open its space station space technology to China, it shattered our illusion that we could introduce cutting-edge technology from the Western world.
Instead, he made up his mind to independently research and develop advanced technology. Therefore, the establishment of a domestically-made space station proposed in 1992 became a milestone in the development of China's high technology in the future. Today, the United States and Europe, Japan and other countries have effectively countered China's various technological and trade suppressions.
