China unveils ambitious plan for space exploration
Quote(CNN) -- China plans to put laboratories in space, collect samples from the moon and prepare to build space stations over the next five years, according to an ambitious plan released this week aimed at putting the country on the global map for space exploration.
China also plans to launch manned-vessels and freighters into space during the coming half-decade, according to a government white paper. The country's eventual goal in the longer term is a manned lunar landing.
QuoteChina says its military-run space program will be used for peaceful purposes.

By the same token, can you blame them for cooperating and forging ahead - while we sit back arguing and bumping off any researcher who gets too close to a truth "TPTB" don't want to get out?
China isn't "smarter" than we are, they are better organized because they cooperate. Something we foolishly and consistently avoid. I don't blame them one bit, I blame the foolish corrupt systems that hold us all back.
The people here are afraid to share knowledge they discover because they don't want to be a "target" for termination. Many hide what they know because they have to wait for an opportunity to make money with it. Still others know from experience that if they share what they discover, others will steal it and run off -making money from it- forgetting all about the source it came from.
If I had thousands of ground breaking idea's and shared one with someone who then ran off with it - made millions - and left my life in dire straights; I would be hard pressed to ever again share anything I know. I have tested an assumption and found it to be correct more than once - Greed causes lies and kills honor and trust.
If the Chinese progress further than us by leaps and bounds, we had better hope they have pity on fools because they will be defining Peace - not us.

On the same note look where sitting on suppressed technology has led us. Suppressing technology also causes lies and kills honor and trust, but at the expense of everyone.
