China launches first female space taikonaut 神州九号 on ShenZhou 9

Hooray for 33 year old Major Liu Yang and her space buddies Colonel Jing HaiPeng and Major Liu Wang.

I love my fatherland whose vision is that women can hold up half of the heavens: 妇女能顶半边天 (a famous quote by Chairman Mao ZeDong), and our space program would be incomplete without the female crewmembers. Of course men hold up the other half ^.^ We will perservere and focus on our national mission to serve the future hope and progress of our people, and share our achievements with all the good people of the world.

Geopolitics update – January 2024
The West has a win-lose mindset. It is very different from China's win-win. The West aims, and has done for many decades, to keep all other countries down, by inciting wars and installing compliant puppet regimes. Containing China has been the policy all along - and the real reason for the Vietnam and Korea wars. It is not something new. This is why the Phillipines has never reached its potential, and why all the propaganda (lies) and meddling in China's outskirts - notably, Tibet, Hong Kong, Taiwan and XinJiang.
