Apparently some people took Russia's non-inclusion by name in the slides(probably to avoid offending european righteousness) means that China dropped Russia altogether from the project

Typical Anglo from the name "Andrew Jones", their mindset is that I kick out Huawei, send warships and warplanes to your door, but you must still love me, you must dislike whoever I dislike. My answer would be "This is my party and the party is for everyone, if you dislike the Russians, you can choose to stay out of it."

Andrew Jones is pretty good most of the timeZ the comments section though… Makes the Drive comment section look like it’s being run by Wumaos.

What is the main reason to move Wentian to the side birthing port ?

Only the forward, rear and nadir ports on Tianhe has the equipment to allow automated docking. The side ports do not and so are always intended for long term lab module connection and not spacecraft coming and going.

So when a new lab mobile arrives it first have to dock the the forward port, then when the time is right its Lyappa arm will move the module to one of those side ports to free up the forward port for future docking (ie Mengtian module next month).
