A statement from the Chinese Embassy in Nigeria read: Dear youth friends of Nigeria, what questions do you have about the Chinese taikonauts’ space exploration? From now on, the Tiangong Space Station will launch the “Talk with Taikonauts” question collection activity, inviting Nigerian youth to ask questions to the three Chinese taikonauts, and the Chinese Embassy in Nigeria will relay your questions to them.
About a month later, the three taikonauts will answer the selected questions online. We look forward to your participation!
