The boss speak to the astronaut
Chinese President Xi Jinping visited the Beijing Aerospace Control Center on Wednesday and talked with three Chinese astronauts, or taikonauts, stationed at China's space station core module Tianhe. The trio - Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming, and Tang Hongbo - embarked on their three-month mission aboard the Shenzhou-12 spacecraft on June 17.

The question is does this backpack allow unteethed EVA?

All the rumor of Yang Liwei fall from grace and shunted aside is not true Here he is leading the charge Off course now his responsibility is different No longer participant but manager
I don't know how US legal system work but what's the difference here? Old wolf amendment has an expiring date that need to be renewed after some years? Or are they gonna write that thing into constitution? Or a "permanent" status would require more senators to revoke? Or it's just another political show to send a message?
Eric Berger is kinda anti-China, the actual answer from Nelson is quite diplomatic actually.
NASA is a political organization part of whose cliental is the scientific community. Much of the scientific community is all for international collaboration, they actually greet Chinese success in space exploration with favor and see these as opportunities to speed the advance of real science. The voice of the scientific community in the west tend to be rather freer from the dictates of the political conflicts. So there is no doubt regardless of the political atmosphere, voices will be heard from the west calling for scientific collaboration with China including in the field of space exploration.
But ultimately the influence of independent scientific community over national policy have been waning in the west since the late 1970s. The rise of climate change denial as backbone of political thought, the election of trump are all but late stage indicators. The ability of scientific community to pull off policy changes will be slight.
