China will use its station in a similar way as the ISS partners are using their outpost: research, technology and as a stepping stone for deep-space exploration.
The country announced in May that the lab would be open to “all countries” to conduct science experiments.
Space markets and glitches

1.The International Space Station (ISS) is a space station, or a habitable artificial satellite, in low Earth orbit.

2.It is collaboration between the United States, Russia, Canada, Europe and Japan.

3.The ISS is the largest human-made body in low Earth orbit and can often be seen with the naked eye from Earth.

The ISS serves as a microgravity and space environment research laboratory in which crew members conduct experiments in biology, human biology, physics, astronomy, meteorology, and other fields.
The station is suited for the testing of spacecraft systems and equipment required for missions to the Moon and Mars.
Its first component launched into orbit in 1998, and the last pressurized module was fitted in 2011 and is expected to operate until at least 2028/2024.
It consists of pressurized modules, external trusses, solar arrays.

Research, industry, exploration
Space stations are a place to do cutting edge scientific research in an environment that cannot be matched on Earth(CRYSTALS)
To study the Earth’s weather, landforms, vegetation, oceans and atmosphere.

The country has the capability to develop a space station, but it needed a longterm approach and an ambitious planning.
Funds and time
We still talk about what would be the immediate benefits of a manned space mission
Prioritization is important for ISRO, which is already conducting three times the rocket launches than its capacity, . For instance, according to estimates, building and maintaining a space station like the International Space Station costs about 100 billion euros — over 100 times the annual budget of ISRO.
