Tiane only bears superficial resamblance to Mir Core/Zvezda.
General layout and APAS are Russian, everything else is different (electric vs hypergolic propulsion, solar array tech, ECLSS, computers, internal layout)

Shenzhou is mostly a large Soyuz but
Wentian and Mengtian, Xuntian, Tiangong-1&2/Tianzhou are completely Chinese designs with no foreign tech inside.

After Phase 2 Chinese Space Station will have internal volume comparable to the ISS, while being a lot lighter, so its goal seems to be to rival the ISS.

>you're right, china doesn't have substantial plans to expand their station
Imagine being a space nerd and not knowing China's future plans for Tiangong.
Next up is Phase 2 with the launch of the backups of the 3 modules to double the station's volume.
