"International space station" without China...

That's a lot of blue dot countries shown on that map

1) United States
2) Russia
3) Japan
4) Canada
5) France
6) Germany
7) Italy
8) Belgium
9) Denmark
10) Spain
11) Sweden
12) Netherlands
13) Switzerland
14) Norway
15) United Kingdom
16) Brazil
17) Malaysia
18) South Africa
19) United Arab Emirates (UAE)
20) South Korea
21) Kazakhstan
22) Saudi Arabia
23) Mexico
24) Belarus
25) Turkey
26) Israel

I'd call that a success for mankind to have people from at least 26 countries visit.

That's my point. Other nations have moved on from solo to the US lead International Space Station while China is just doing solo now.

By the time China orbits a Chinese lead International Space Station around the earth, the USA will be orbiting their station around the moon.

Actually i bet SpaceX will be selling Starship space stations to countries.

NASA eyeing SpaceX's Starship as possible space station

Starship could serve as a space station with a diverse set of uses.

www.space.com

SpaceX is getting some advice from NASA to investigate the possibility of converting its huge new Starship vehicle into an orbital destination.
If the idea comes to fruition, Starship could offer a wide variety of accommodations for on-orbit research and commercialization.

You can fit the entire Chinese Space Station into a Starship so why not just send one up on a one-way trip with everything needed and sell it to say Japan or France or whoever.

After the 2030s, the ISS will be debited and only Chinese Space Station will remain for a decade until US decide to fund private venture. The US politicians argued that China is well behind in Space tech so did want Chinese “stealing” technology.

US companies like SpaceX don't need the government's help to build things like Space Stations.

They get financial support through the US government contracts for NASA astronauts. They are not building space hotel and charging $25 million per person.

Why not. There are plenty of people with money willing to pay.

Dennis Tito paid $20M for a ride on a Soyuz in 2001.

World's first space tourist books trip to the moon with SpaceX

Dennis Tito, who paid $20 million for a trip to the International Space Station in 2001, has signed a contract with SpaceX for him and his wife to soar 125 miles within the moon.

There was an estimate of at least 1000 people who would/could pay.

I think Axiom is charging $20M for a SpaceX Crew Dragon ride.

I prefer the base hotel on the far side of the moon to the cramped space of the space station. In 2030, China will start the construction of a lunar base, and then it will be realized.

Chinese space station's living condition is way better than that so called cramped international space station

WATCH ASTRONAUTS GIVE A RARE TOUR OF CHINA'S LUXURIOUS SPACE STATION​

WE'VE NEVER SEEN THIS MUCH OF THE STATION BEFORE.​

Chinese astronauts on board the country's Tiangong space station have given us a rare glimpse into what life is like roughly 260 miles above the surface.

As seen in an almost seven-minute-long video shared by Chinese state-owned news agency CCTV...

LOL! China isn't going to let any tourist near any base for at least 10 years no matter how much they are willing to pay.

In just the 5 years since its first manned launch SpaceX has sent at least 12 people into space who were not astronauts (out of a total of ~66). That sets a precedent for being open about private sector space stations funded by paying customers.

I believe China has sent only around 26 people into space since 2003. China doesn't have much of a track record for manned missions over the last 20 years.

How do you know?
You sound like you work for the Chinese space agency.

that's the space station they are talking about not their future moon base. It's going to be a lot more expensive to send a tourist to a moon base 200,000 miles away than LEO. That wont be happening often any time soon.

Are you comparing the whole world with China? and China is a latercomer in space technology, we never denied it. but later coming such as in city subway and high speed railway did stop China becoming the best in the world now, and first comers US and UK the worst.

SpaceX is the latecomer not China. You are confusing SpaceX with NASA which has sent over 875 passengers into space before SpaceX took over. The Space Shuttle total was over 850.

Anyways the best way to get tourists to the moon is to build something like a VTOL Space 1999 Eagle Transporter/Lander with modular fuel cells under the trusses that can be swapped out at orbiting fuel depots.
