China announced on Monday (May 28) that all member states of the United Nations are welcome to jointly utilize its future China Space Station (CSS).
"CSS belongs not only to China, but also to the world," said Shi Zhongjun, China's Ambassador to UN and other international organizations in Vienna.

"All countries, regardless of their size and level of development, can participate in the cooperation on an equal footing," he said in a statement.

CSS is expected to be launched by 2019, and complete and brought into operation by 2022.

It seems that there may be life is low orbit after the ISS retirement. News media are reporting that China have announced their intention of building a massive new space station. And it's invited the world to get aboard.

The optimist in me says "great."

The cynic says, "of course, you'd like to steal everyone's intellectual property and technology — because that's what China does."
