You moron, the aerospace program has economic and scientific applications.
For example, China is capable of launching satellites for other countries, thereby making a lot of money.
China is setting up its own GPS system, therefore in the future, there is no need to rely on the US satellites.
Of course, weather satellites are used in forecasting the weather, environmental satellites are capable of finding new natural resources, and communications satellites are used in TV broadcasting.
All these can improve the living standards of the people now, not to mention the basic scientific research that can be carried out in the space station.
Even democratic India is claiming that they will send astronauts to the moon before China will.
The hosting of the Olympics has allowed China to gain valuable expertise in the logistics of hosting a large event. Japan did it in the 1960's and south Korea did it in the 1980's. |
