GPS vs. BeiDou

Arecibo vs. FAST

China recently deployed their own Space Station and Mars Rover, etc...

Political and ideological biases aside, it's pretty obvious which space program has more vitality in the current decade. Both sides certainly have novel tech, but what about the bigger trends?

Actually it is sad that they get so little attention in the west. Space exploration from anyone is really interesting stuff, and we should be rather agnostic with whom we follow.

> GPS vs. BeiDou

How is BeiDou evidence for what you claim?

> Arecibo vs. FAST

Lots of other scopes that have capabilities that neither A or F have.

> China recently deployed their own Space Station and Mars Rover, etc...

These aren't examples of them being ahead. They may, however, may be examples of them reaching parity.

BeiDou is more precise than US govt's GPS

[JaimeThompson]

Can be more precise, it isn't more accurate in all use cases. Also the GPS Block III birds have enhancements to improve accuracy and related metrics.
