China Looks To Deep Space Missions, Including More Lunar Landings and Robot Ants (xinhuanet.com)
MarkWhittington writes: China has already landed a rover on the moon and has launched numerous crewed space missions in low-Earth orbit. It is looking ahead to building a space station and landing more probes on the moon, including the lunar farside. According to a story in Xinhua, the Chinese are already looking beyond to deep space missions to destinations including the moon, Mars, and asteroids. The idea is that China will not be a respected space power until it starts accomplishing things in space that no other country has done before.

Just remove "in space" and then control and eliminate your pollution and reduce your population and you will have all the respect the World could ever give you.
What happens in space... not too many people really care, but down here on Earth, taking care of the massive pollution and population you've created is the real challenge.
Not "ants on the moon".
