This star is going to the moon

Chapter 531 No more pretense, I'm laying my cards on the table: I'm going to build a community with a shared future for mankind.

Space has always been known for its mystery.

After all, very few people have been to space, and the fact that so few have made it mysterious.

However, with the launch of large-scale space tourism flights since last year, more and more people have entered space, filmed various space tourism videos, and people are becoming more and more knowledgeable about space...

No, it's not accurate to say that I'm getting to know you better.

After all, the cutting-edge research and theories about space are still the same old things.

But as ordinary people have more and more opportunities to experience space, space is becoming less and less mysterious.

However, no matter how unmysterious it may seem, the fact that the Supreme Celestial Pivot of the Chinese people entered space still exceeded many people's imaginations.

After all, given how crucial this technology is, many people think it will take another ten or eight years, until manned spaceflight technology is absolutely safe, before it will be possible to go into space.

Although Bluestar Aerospace's space shuttle has not had any accidents so far, it has not been around for very long, so no one can guarantee that it will be 100% safe.

As a result, launch insurance for early commercial space tourism flights from BlueStar Space was difficult to obtain.

Moreover, Tian Shu didn't go to space aboard Blue Star Aerospace's Lingji Yidong, but rather aboard the Xiancha, a new purchase by the China National Space Administration.

There's also the issue of experienced players versus beginners here.

Regardless, the Xiancha spacecraft successfully completed its mission and delivered its target into space.

After Lu Yun and his team had surveyed the beautiful scenery of Earth several times, the Xiancha started up again and flew towards the Tiangong Space Station.

Because there was an important target on the shuttle, the ultra-fast docking of one and a half hours was not used this time, but only a three-hour rapid docking was used.

There will be no live broadcast during this period. Firstly, it will be a long broadcast, and secondly, Tian Shu's "Reflections on Observing Earth from Space" will require revisions to the speech.

During the period when the live broadcast was interrupted, one international news story after another emerged, and netizens engaged in heated debates.

The pride of Chinese netizens goes without saying, while foreign netizens are simultaneously tagging their own leaders to do the same, while also complaining that their own leaders would never do such a thing.

Even American netizens, who are most likely to be involved in this, are the same.

There's no way around it. Just like when the US and China were competing for the manned lunar landing mission, both sides had a chance, but the US just couldn't succeed.

Now that it's the Americans' turn to fail, American netizens are naturally very anxious.

After all, the United States has been the world's number one and world hegemon for too long, and many people are born with this concept.

Seeing that things have been disrupted and that the Americans are falling behind in some areas, they simply cannot accept it.

But the world is material, and it doesn't change anything if some people don't accept it.

Three hours later, the Xiancha docked with the Tiangong space station.

The supersonic speed was not used during flight, but it could be used to balance the air pressure on both sides. In any case, only the air pressure in the shuttle docking area and the space station dock node module changed, which would not affect the crew and astronauts on both sides.

"Ah-"

Once the air pressure was balanced, both sides opened the hatches, and finally the astronauts from the space station opened the dock gate to welcome Lu Yun and the others in.

"Welcome Tian Shu, Chief Designer Yang, and Chief Designer Lu to the Tiangong Space Station!"

Having lived two lives, this is Lu Yun's first time visiting the Heavenly Palace Space Station, so he really needs to take a good look around.

Of the five people, only pilot Chen Dong had worked on the Tiangong space station, or rather, his Shenzhou-14 crew had participated in the construction of the Tiangong space station.

Yang Liwei was also visiting for the first time, but as the deputy chief designer of the manned space program, he had to observe with curiosity while explaining things to Tian Shu and the others.

This process will not be broadcast live; we will edit the video footage recorded by the reporter and release it later.

The main purpose of Tian Shu's entry into space was to deliver a speech broadcast live globally.

After confirming that his speech was in order, Tian Shu floated in front of the camera and hooked his feet on the limiters to stabilize himself.

There's a significant difference between how high-ranking Chinese officials give speeches and how Americans do the same. In China, it's usually a single person giving the speech, highlighting the key points.

Americans, on the other hand, would have a row of people standing next to the speaker to emphasize the speaker's large numbers.

But the person answering questions or giving a speech is still the same person.

This speech by Tian Shu was somewhat similar to the style of those from the US, because he was worried that he might lose control of his posture and float around during the speech, which would be a bit undignified.

So Lu Yun and the others stood behind him, each holding their own position to ensure that Tian Shu wouldn't move around during his speech.

After they checked and found no problems, the highly anticipated space speech began.

Before Tian Shu's speech, there will be a segment with expert commentary from CCTV. The live broadcast from the space station will only switch to the space station camera once Lu Yun and his team are ready.

"Okay, let's switch the camera to the space station's live stream; it's all ready over there."

The scene changed, and Tian Shu, Lu Yun, and others appeared on the live stream screen.

"Comrades, friends, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon."

"I extend my best wishes to everyone from the Tiangong space station."

"Leaving the cradle of Earth is a long-term plan for mankind, but it wasn't until a few decades ago that humans entered space. Since then, we have heard how wonderful and magnificent space is, and how many emotions we feel when we look back at Earth."

"I experienced it for myself today, and it's true."

"Therefore, mobilizing countries around the world and leveraging civil society to allow more people to enter space, experience space, and look back at the cradle of Earth is perhaps an essential part of 'building a community with a shared future for mankind in outer space'..."

Lu Yun hadn't looked at Tian Shu's speech; he thought there would be some build-up before getting to the point, but he didn't expect that the speech would start by calling on people directly so quickly.

"...Originally, global cooperation was very harmonious, but the United States has consistently attached political conditions, or rather, 'hegemonic terms,' to its cooperation with other countries, including in the aerospace field!"

"Our country has always adhered to the principles of equality, mutual benefit, openness and inclusiveness in cooperation, without attaching any conditions. We have consistently maintained that outer space should not be dominated by any one country, let alone pursue hegemony and colonialism!"

"While making tremendous progress in our space program, my country is also willing to cooperate with other countries to ensure that our space program benefits all mankind..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the live stream chat exploded with comments.

【666666】

Wow, they're just calling out names!

[Previously they said "certain countries," but this time they said the US directly, and it was broadcast live globally from the space station!]

[It feels like the national strategy has changed at this moment!]

Is it finally about to begin?

[I'm not pretending anymore, I'm laying my cards on the table!]

In my opinion, this should have been done a long time ago; we should have made our stance clear!

Indeed, the current international situation is too chaotic. A country must stand up to the US and prevent it from acting with impunity!

I'm really looking forward to seeing how the US responds to this...

The boss hasn't finished speaking yet, listen carefully...

The concept of "a community with a shared future for mankind" is the core idea and iconic concept of the diplomatic thought between Laos and China in the new era. Many people believe that this concept can play a positive role in the construction of the international order amidst the unprecedented changes in the world.

Building a community with a shared future for mankind conforms to the general trend of history and the trend of the times, is in line with the common interests of all mankind, and is increasingly gaining popularity.

This reflects the unique insights of Laos and China into the direction of human development, fundamentally responding to the common aspirations of all countries for development and progress, and is of great significance for promoting international solidarity and cooperation to create a better future for humanity. Throughout the history of human social development, how major world powers understand and develop themselves, what they can do for world peace and development, and where they will lead the world have always been crucial questions for becoming qualified major powers.

A great power should act like a great power, possessing the vision and responsibility of one.

Major powers should strive to build a world of lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness and inclusiveness, and a clean and beautiful environment.

Instead of using force to destroy these things.

There is only one Earth in the universe, and all of humanity shares one home.

From a spatial perspective, the space in which the community of shared future for mankind grows and covers is both vast and meticulous. If it cannot be done globally at the beginning, it can be done on a one-to-one basis with individual countries.

As global governance expands into the ocean, polar regions, and outer space, the scope and boundaries for exploring and building a community with a shared future for mankind also expand.

On the one hand, the most basic component of a community with a shared future for mankind is people, including both individuals and various groups composed of individuals.

In other words, the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind includes all of humanity and the environment in which humanity exists; this is the starting point for building a community with a shared future for mankind.

On the other hand, where there are people, there are conflicts.

The concept of a community with a shared future for mankind does not shy away from contradictions, but rather actively offers propositions and methods for properly handling them.

When dealing with contradictions, differences, and conflicts, the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind advocates "seeking common ground while reserving differences," "harmonious coexistence," and "win-win cooperation," emphasizing multilateralism and advocating that everyone should discuss and resolve issues together.

The "Global South" cooperation, actively advocated and promoted by Laos and China, is based on the North-South gap, actively developing the South and striving for common development with countries such as the "Global North," thereby promoting the building of a more balanced community with a shared future for mankind.

"...The destiny of the world should be jointly determined by all countries, international rules should be jointly written by all countries, global affairs should be jointly governed by all countries, and the fruits of development should be shared by all countries..."

"...I proposed the initiatives of building a community with a shared future for mankind, jointly building the Belt and Road Initiative, global development, global security, and global civilization, hoping to replace division with unity, confrontation with cooperation, and exclusion with inclusiveness..."

"...The building of a community with a shared future for mankind welcomes the participation of all countries and emphasizes cultural exchange and mutual learning among civilizations..."

………………

Time flies, and the space declaration made by China and Laos seems like it was just yesterday.

Okay, it was yesterday.

The timing of the live broadcast of China's space declaration was very advantageous for China itself, but not so much for other countries, so most people around the world only found out about it the following day.

After they saw the news headlines, clickbait titles, live stream clips, highlight reels, and the original recorded videos, the whole world was shocked.

Even though most people know that China has changed its consistently mild foreign policy.

I also learned that no matter how cute a panda is, it's still a bear, and it even has another name: the iron-eating beast!
However, some countries breathed a sigh of relief after learning about China's specific objectives.

After all, many of humanity's fears stem from the unknown.

If you knew the situation, even if you knew you were going to die, you would have a moment of peace of mind.

Knowing that I wouldn't die would put my mind at ease.

When some countries realized that China's exact target was the United States, and that it wanted to unite everyone for development and build a community with a shared future for mankind, they immediately stopped panicking.

It's like if Laos and China were to go to war, and Laos mobilized several combined arms brigades, then neighboring countries, and even those neighboring countries with whom Laos and China have friction or conflict, would definitely panic.

But if they knew that the Chinese had mobilized all their combined arms brigades, recalled veterans, and mobilized the entire nation, they would immediately feel reassured.

"This is definitely not aimed at me. They wouldn't need to mobilize so many resources to attack me."

Even countries as far away as Europe were impressed.

Because their long-awaited opportunity seems to have finally arrived!
Previously, China's foreign policy was too mild, and it always said "no hegemony" and "no alliances," which gave people the impression of being "not proactive, not refusing, and not responsible."

This is not reassuring.

Now that they know China's only target is the US and that it wants to actively maintain world order, Europe knows that the situation of the last century has repeated itself.

And it was even milder than the last time.

The main reason is that the Laos and the Chinese are strong enough that they can "build strongholds and fight protracted battles" all the way.

Unlike the old bear, which was "all bark and no bite," so it could only make a lot of noise and scare the world at every turn.

Furthermore, China's manufacturing industry is so developed that no one can do without it.

Even Americans can't live without it.

The world is much more interconnected now than it was decades ago.

Therefore, Europa felt it had an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

If the two sides are really determined to "separate," Europa could act as a "middleman."

Or, according to the Lao-Chinese theory, it would be to turn the Mediterranean into a giant "Yangcheng Lake".

Therefore, many European countries started holding meetings after receiving the definite news, and sometimes several countries even held meetings together.

While other countries are at ease, the US becomes uneasy.

In fact, the US had a rather complicated mindset before. It was very convinced that China would compete with it for world leadership.

Even if the Chinese are not doing it voluntarily, they will indirectly do so as the Chinese community continues to grow and expand.

That's why Americans bring this up in various situations.

And they adopted an aggressive stance.

But when the Chinese really opened up and laid their cards on the table, they were determined to compete with it for supremacy...

No, the Chinese saying is that they want to reshape the world order, to make law and civilization truly function, and to promote world peace and development.

However, from the American perspective, it means competing with them for control of the world.

After all, what the Americans like to talk about most is "rules-based international order".

And this "rule" is a rule that it formulated based on its strength and status.

Anyone who does not follow its rules is undermining the international order.

But now that the Chinese have really laid their cards on the table, the Americans have suddenly panicked.

Just like how they used the "China threat theory" to get funding, when they found out that China really was threatening the US, and the White House and Congress asked the military to come up with a solution, the military was left in a bind.

Especially when they took stock of their own military industry and found it to be in a terrible state, while the Chinese were building warships and fighter jets like crazy.

Even during the strategic dialogue between the two countries in Anchorage last year, Laos and China made some contributions.

At the time, the Americans said, "Based on our strength and status..."

The old Chinese man immediately interrupted, saying, "You have no right to speak. You should talk to us based on your strength and status!"

Although it generated a lot of buzz for a few days, things quickly returned to normal.

Because Americans still think of Chinese people as gentle pandas.

Today, she suddenly took off her panda costume, revealing the red dragon underneath!

The White House immediately convened a high-level meeting!
"Gentlemen, how should we respond?"
