Since Chinese military took over the space program from domestic companies, the programs for putting men into space accelerated rapidly. The results of the effort were highlighted yesterday(June 16th,'21) with a successful docking of a manned rocket that carried 3 men to the new space station orbiting the earth. "Look at us, World, look what China did: we achieved greatness". And so, the 'space race' as it was once called, reached a new pace: China has rounded the bend and has proceeded to the long straight away. They must now be recognized as a player in the long game of space exploration and development beyond the boundaries of Mother Earth.
No problem here; the Communists have been funding missile research for decades in an attempt to catch up with the usual major powers(US, Russya, etc). But the actual visible effort creates higher awareness that will feed the media's concern for international contest of the heavens.
