Well, I didn't say it was lost or destroyed or anything did I? It's embarrassing enough that they lost communications with it just 2 days after launch.

Those commentators are just giving what their viewers want so they can keep getting invites. Sticking to the facts and going against the set narratives usually translate into being blacklisted.

Yes a couple weeks ago there were articles claiming Tiangong 1 was going to hit somewhere in the US and Europe. They went as far to say it was going to hit Michigan.
I might sound like a broken record here, but one of the headlines I've heard goes something like "...Chinese Space Junk Crashing Back To Earth..." or something like that. Yeah, "technically", maybe it is a space junk, but as in any language, words carry connotations.
Make no mistake, the Western world is using every last ounce of its ability, with no regard whatsoever for any morality, remorse or mercy to prevent the developing or under-developed world from ever developing past them. Propaganda like these, even 10-year-old's would instinctively know to be immoral.
Well, they'd say it's a democracy, so people are free to spew whatever they want. In that case, democracy, as practiced by the West is very irresponsible then. Governments, that regulate the law continue to allow, maybe even encourage this kind of behavior, making their native populations ever more xenophobic, and preventing what should be the better understanding of peoples around an ever shrinking world to progress.
And then these same peoples, having already been brain-washed, return the same kind of leaders into governments, and the vicious cycle continues.
The developing and under-developed world should NEVER EVER let down their guard against this tyranny, but also let this knowledge be etched into our psyche, so that we would NEVER USE back this same strategy towards its original propagators.

I think we should be careful to the word "merging". But then, the journalist may not know the details anyway.
There are ongoing work in somehow sharing or co-working of Glonass and Beidou, but there are also a newly signed agreement between Beidou and GPS. How deep are these collaborations are? We don't know. But from this article, it seems Glonass and Beidou are cozier.
The inter-operability works between Glonass and Beidou could be much deeper than Beidou and GPS considering the relationship of the three countries. But "merging" sounds like making Glonass and Beidou into one system. That is very unlikely even if they wanted to because:
- The working frequencies of the two are different.
- The coding schemes are different.
- Chips in user devices therefor are very different. User devices can have chips which work for both system, but that is just packing two separate ICs in one box.
To summarize, it will be very close and deep interworking but not merging into one.
Details aside, it is indeed a collaborations not seen so far.
P.S. in the long term (decades and IF relations go better), I can imagine a real merge. That is the two system will share frequencies and orbital locations and using same coding schemes. However that means Russia and China is as close as UK/Canada to USA or even more. It also need to wait for the early Beidou and Glonass satellites to reach their service lives.

After googling I found a very quick and harsh "debunk" by a Russian Hater , see his article on gpsworld
This article is full of assertion without facts, such as "RT is propaganda by Russian government, so must be lies". There is only one hard "fact" from this article that can be verified. It is the time of the conference in Harbin where the negotiation is supposed to be conducted. The article claims that the conference was held and closed on January 2018 with nothing reported.
So what is this Alan Cameron talking about? He attacked RT by making a lie himself? Or he just had a knee jerk reaction?
This is exactly the same as the "professionals'" talking about Tiangong-1 out of control with not fact, and worse with falsified "fact".
In no way I am saying that RT article is correct (at this moment). But it did not run anything that can be proven wrong (at this moment). It is the so-called professionals who are lying by calling others lying.
Something we must keep reminding ourselves all the time.

However, I found which is the site. The conference is to be held from May 4 to 6, just like the RT article said.
