One of the purposes of ISS, and other space programs (Apollo-Soyuz for example) was showcasing how nations can work together, and bringing hope for peace during the cold war. May sound naive, but that's the reason why nobody should be jettisoned off the space station - even if there are embargoes on the ground.

Obviously, the /s was meant to be implied. To think it was even remotely considered not /s is pretty sad.

It's a silly comment leading into a more serious question. Everyone focuses on the least important part of the comment, and then feels self righteous

The PRC is banned from the ISS, due to NASA being legally forbidden from dealing with them.
