100M would be ground breaking ESO had a concept called OWL it was absolutely massive

Yes, that was another realization I came to, which added to my desire to retract the 100-meter claim.

But I can see a path to a 100-meter optical telescope at last: build it in space! Use robots, but have humans standing by in a space station to fix the inevitable glitches and do the final calibrations. China's current space station won't be large enough for this, but maybe the next one will be.

Despite the success of Tianwen-1, the Chinese are lucid about the technological gap with the Americans. For example In the early stage of the development of the Mars program, research was carried out on Mars aircraft. The team carried out analysis of various models (including fixed wing and rotor) but concluded that due to Mars low atmospheric density, current domestic technology level is inadequate.

US Space Command is worried that the robotic arm on China's space station would be used to grab and destroy American satellites.

carefully, it is indeed officially recognised that one of the functions of the arm is to disassemble solar panels. ;)

Probably fell for their own comedy
Wicked minds keep on thinking wicked ideas! They call it "anticipation" and other BS. They will formulate even the weirdest, wickedest scenarios

Among others they are making film to brainwash the society, using the media, TV, movies, etc... anyone ever thinks a movie as such being produced just for the purpose of comedy or entertainment or commercial motive only is just naive. All the medium in their controls are used as propaganda tools, subtle, subliminal or naked, to create scare, hatred, etc... in order to push forward their hidden agendas, with the most lenient one is simply asking more money, bigger budget! But those in real power are really bad guys! In reality often they may plan to do what they accuse the other sides of doing or planning to do!

We would definitely have it but the initial mission would be modest under 30M is a good bet and that's being generous nevertheless it's the technology that matters scaling up is only a matter of funding and political will both of which China possess in ample amount
