On October 30, China launched the Shenzhou-19 crewed spaceship, sending three astronauts to its orbiting space station for a six-month mission.

The Shenzhou-19 crew consists of mission commander Cai Xuzhe, and astronauts Song Lingdong and Wang Haoze. Wang is China's first female space engineer. 

Compared with Shenzhou-18, the storage space of Shenzhou-19 has been increased by 20 percent. This improvement enables astronauts and related systems to transport more time-sensitive and essential supplies.

The launch of Shenzhou-19 has attracted global attention, making headlines across international news outlets. AP said China's new crew arriving at the space station demonstrates its growing influence in the space field. BBC said it is a moment of national pride.

At a time when global space competition is becoming increasingly fierce, the Shenzhou-19 opens up greater opportunities for international cooperation.

News on Japan reported that China is highly regarded "as a country that is willing to share its advanced achievements." 

In the past, China has carried out international collaborations with major space-faring nations and developing countries, including space science applications and in-orbit facilities.

China's Tiangong space station is servingasa platform for international collaboration to advance space technology, thus bringing benefits to all of humanity.
