Some footage of the Mengtian experimental module being rotated 90 degrees, somehow it doesn't throw off the trajectory of the whole thing *shrug*
China's Tiangong space station aka CSS took 1.5 years to build & is now complete.
The ISS took 10 years to build & is about 4X larger (100 v 422 tonnes). There are rumours of CSS expansion but nothing verified yet.
This Mengtian module is 23 tonnes, the largest module sent into space for either the CSS or ISS.
In 2011 the Obama regime kicked China out of the ISS. 11 years later China has built their own.
CSS is open to international cooperation for all UN member states, so far 23 entities from 17 countries have been accepted..

Not to mention that the CCP relentlessly hacked NASA JPL over the last decade and absconded with everything they needed to make their own space station, mars lander, etc...
