Jubilant China

China has another reason to cheer. The successful hosting of Olympics followed by a textbook perfect launch of Shanzou VII carrying three astronauts into the space for countrys third manned space flight and first space walk, has left the country euphoric. The move is yet another milestone in Chinese peoples march towards aerospace science. The mission is a sign of Chinas growing strategic power in the region and underscores the country growing political clout in the world. It also speaks about the importance China gives to space exploration for commercial and military purposes. For sure US dominance in space is under threat. China has joined Europe and India in announcing ambitious new developments in aerospace. For sure 2008 has given the Chinese reason enough to rejoice in national pride and dignity and be hopeful for a better life in the dragon country.

So China's finally put a man in space? (ALLEGEDLY) I suppose 50 years late isn't that bad. It sums up the difference, though, between China and the west .... still lagging behind thanks to Mao's legacy and his long strangle-hold on the people who matter most when it comes to technological achievement & advances - enterpreneurs, income generators, genius & people with creativity & flair that need some space & freedom. China shows one face to the world & keeps the other hidden from view.
