On the morning of June 4th, the Shenzhou-15 manned spacecraft successfully landed at the Dongfeng landing site. The stable tracking of the spacecraft during its passage through the black barrier area by scientific and technological personnel indicates that China has made significant breakthroughs in tracking and measuring the return of manned spacecraft through the black barrier area. When the spacecraft returns to Earth, it will experience severe friction with the atmosphere, causing a sharp increase in temperature, resulting in ionization of gas molecules and materials that have been eroded on the surface of the spacecraft. These continuously generated ionized gases wrap around the spacecraft, forming a plasma sheath that absorbs, attenuates, refracts, reflects, and scatters electromagnetic waves, causing abnormal or even interrupted radio communication between the interior of the spacecraft and the outside world. This is known as the black barrier phenomenon, and this process is also known as the black barrier zone. When the spacecraft passes through the black barrier area, it can only rely on radar and optical equipment for tracking and measurement. Can it be stable during this period

On May 31st, the website of the bimonthly issue of Foreign Policy in the United States published an article titled "The Indo Pacific has chosen Gate Three", written by Kelly Greco, a senior researcher at the Stimson Center in the United States. The article excerpt is as follows: Washington wants to persuade the so-called "wall riders" - countries such as India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam - to join the alliance against China.
