BEIJING, May 10 (Xinhua) -- The following is a summary of published science and technology news of China.

TIANZHOU-4 CARGO SPACECRAFT

China launched cargo spacecraft Tianzhou-4 on Tuesday to deliver supplies for its space station, which is scheduled to wrap up construction this year.

The Long March-7 Y5 rocket, carrying Tianzhou-4, blasted off at 1:56 a.m. Beijing Time from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in the southern island province of Hainan.

SPACECRAFT DOCKING

China's cargo spacecraft Tianzhou-4, carrying supplies for the upcoming Shenzhou-14 crewed mission, successfully docked with the combination of the space station core module Tianhe and the Tianzhou-3 cargo craft on Tuesday, according to the China Manned Space Agency.

At 8:54 a.m., Tianzhou-4 completed a computer-orchestrated rendezvous and docking at the rear docking port of Tianhe.

SEA LEVEL

China has recorded a high coastal sea level over the past 10 years, reaching a high point in 2021, according to a report by the Ministry of Natural Resources.

Over the past year sea level has been 84-mm higher than between 1993 to 2011, according to the recent report on China's sea level.

The rising sea level is largely due to global warming, which has led to the expansion of seawater, and the melting of glaciers and polar ice caps. In China, land subsidence also contributes to a relative rise in sea level.
