China's space diplomacy lifts Pakistani astronaut toward orbit

The initiative deepens space ties with Pakistan, a close strategic partner, and signals China's effort to build partnerships through its space station programme as an alternative to Western-led space cooperation.
Why now: China's decision to include a Pakistani astronaut on a mission highlights its growing space diplomacy and strategic partnership with Pakistan
