"China considers its space programme a symbol of its rising global stature and technological advancement, as well as of the Communist Party's success in reversing the fortunes of the once impoverished nation."
 
>>> Good for the Chinese.   Btw, until late 1950s, China was struggling in almost every field (economically and technologically, etc.) and even behind India.  Now it seems that country will be the second one (after the U.S.) to land a human on the Moon.

Back in the 50s even South Koreans used to go to India to be trained at TELCO, TISCO etc. If only corruption had been wiped out in India, and if it had been better managed (not by IAS babus)  ........how high it could have gone by now!
