China says the United States is ignoring its obligations under outer space treaties and endangering the safety of astronauts.
Three astronauts successfully docked with China's new space station on Saturday on what is set to be Beijing's longest crewed mission to date and the latest landmark in its drive to become a major space power.
Three taikonauts blasted off shortly after midnight from Jiuquan launch centre in northwestern China’s Gobi desert.
The space agency declared the launch a success and said the crew “were in good shape”.
The mission — twice as long as its 90-day predecessor — will set up equipment and test technology for future construction on the Tiangong station.
