The Chinese aren't stupid at all. It is easy to be an "armchair" space agency head, but it takes a whole lot more to actually put one of these rockets together and to accomplish an in-orbit rendezvous and docking. Russia didn't accomplish this until 1969, just a couple of months before the flight of Apollo 11.
As for building a joint rocket together, just imagine the costs of SLS multiplied by 10 or 100. Any such international endeavor would bankrupt the world economy as a whole.
Why the Chinese are so STUPID? And wasting a lot of money! “ NO BRAIN ” whatsoever! Chinese copy monkey! Those are things other county did and it’s nothing special. If I were a head of Chinese space program agency, I wont do that, instead I come to USA, Russia , ESA, INDIA or Japan to discuss to build together more reliable and less cost 2nd generation space shuttles or new spaceship for the mars.
I feel it's always good news a Country succeed their space mission. It make easier to continue funding further space mission for their agency. Also, it could have an impact in long term of funding some project for NASA. Competition and Cooperation are two keys things for the biggest projects in the world to succeed.
@fcycles Double edged sword. We had a ton of competition with the Soviet Union during the cold war. That got us to the moon, which is awesome. But it also made it difficult to sustain and we have never been back, which is not awesome. I would prefer slower progress that is sustainable rather than flags and footprints, personally.
@spacevidcast Me too I would prefer that. I understand going to the Mars (and even going back to the Moon) will put people attention to space in the news and give pride. For a slower but sustainable progress, I believe most of the work to progress are taking place here on Earth. By the research and experiment to solve problems we face to achieve these goals. Unfortunately, it's a bit hard for the public to know about these details.
"Shen Zhou"(神舟) literally means -" The Ark of God"
There is also another word pronounced as "Shen Zhou"(神州) but in a different writing script, meaning "The land of God" . In ancient Chinese literature, China was called “Shen Zhou -- the land of God”.

@ohmyholymothergod, Yes, for the purposes of spaceflight, the European Union can be considered a country. Well... mostly. The ESA is made up of several EU members (and non-members), but is roughly analogous to the EU counterpart to NASA. And the ESA has made a successful in orbit rendezvous & docking with the ISS. That certainly is a significant accomplishment that is IMHO almost as difficult if not more so on a technical level than even getting into space in the first place.
@fifaplayer10 You can't change their minds. To believe the Moon hoax is a sign of irrational thought and conspiracy theories that simply don't exist. Every rational explanation can always be explained away by another conspiracy theory because they already have a closed mind.
CHINA STOPPING STARVING NORTH KOREAN DEFECTORS ESCAPE FORM HELL!!!
China has set up barbed wire fences and closed-circuit TV cameras along its border with North Korea, while supplying North Korea with equipment to track mobile phone signals so it can crack down on defectors.

I think NASA's SLS is probably an even safer bet since it's actually supported by congress and has a proper budget.

lol, greece state, germany state, france state, italy state, ..., of european union, a so called country that mastered docking technology...
...dock with socalled "international" space station whose member(us) boycotts other country(china) to join in.
the meaning of this video is totally different from esa's atv docking.
