     @lain Not just that, but the ISS was originally planned to be EOL ~2016, and the current plan is ~2030. So Tiangong will easily outlive the ISS.

     I guess the race is on for Starship to provide fast and cheap launch capacity for massive payloads in time for creating a new Western space station and/or Moon base before China is the only nation with people in space.
