Hopefully the taikonauts make it back alive. Chinese build quality and “space travel” is a risky combination.

China is the only country with a human spaceflight program that hasn't killed anyone in a spacecraft yet.

There's plenty to criticize about China and about China's space activities, but I don't see much evidence that the safety of their spacecraft is on that list at present.

Expensive Chinese products are of good quality. Its the cheap shit we demand where quality goes out the window. Get what you pay for basically.

china has a better rocket launch success rate than both Roscosmos and nasa. Zero Chinese have died in space or even on earth attempting to go space.

Considering china does a launch every second day, this is pretty impressive. Along with landing on moon and mars on first attempts, with 3 in 1 lander orbiter and rover on their first attempt. Same as landing on far side of moon. All firsts, all extremely successful.

Zero Chinese have died on earth, other than the villagers downrange from their inland launch sites.

"Made in China" is a reputation gained because westerners demand to buy the cheapest shit possible. It is western companies that skimp on manufacturing costs that make those goods poor quality.

Chinese space program is cutting edge and they've never lost a single astronaut. Which you would know if you were anything but a raging reactionary

Other than the people on the ground, who died from booster stages landing on land.

Fuck the Chinese Communist Party. Is that enough reactionary rage? Would you like to know more?
