On that same rocket they sent up a spy satttlite that has a camera on board. That camera is capable of taking pictures of the USA. It can take a picture of something 5 ft. wide and you can tell what it is. Good old China. Wants to join the space race. Yeah right.
Yeh i read and heard they sent up a spy satelite too, can't trust them IMO, no disrespect meant , but China has stolen a lot of our technology. Too bad all the world couldn't unite to explore space they way it should be explored. The technology is there to do it , but not the committment and resources.
Why should China explore space and build space stations when they cant even take care of their own people? 75% of the country is in poverty and some parts are even having hunger problems.
