Taikonaut Yang Liwei reacts with tight lipped resignation as he hears for the first time, from a gleeful US delegation of Senator Bill Nelson and former astronaut Buzz Aldrin, that the USA was in space 30 odd years ago, and in fact owns all of space. His interpreter/communist party loyalty monitor Guang X'ina is also seen here in the background slyly observing that the map colors for China and Taiwan are not the same.

no not at all.

Now if I'd captioned the photo with something like...


"Chinese taikonaut Yang Liwei instructs the US delegation on how to properly execute and enjoy a concealed "peaceful rise"".

...now then I'd feel like an idiot.

They probably had to leave the National Camera by the entrance, and got asked: "Do you mind being blindfolded?" and "Don't touch ANYTHING!"
