In a few months, the International Space Station will be retired, while China's space station will be mankind's only foothold in space. A cargo ship named "Tianzhou" (Heavenly Vessel) is planned to ferry cargo back and forth to the station. It will be delivered into space by the new Long March-7 carrier rocket and dock with Tiangong-2 automatically.
Stalin would envy Xi's cult of the personality. In every page the main figure is the smiling Xi (pic). China radiates unity, harmony, planning - contrasting with the chaotic democracies of the West. Sparta and Athens, just as Victor Davis Hanson defines them. Yet, while the Soviet Union publications were full of authentic ideological debates, these are totally absent in their Chinese re-incarnation. It is the Celestial Empire once again. Sparta won the Peloponnesian War, yet Hanson loves the chaos and the dynamism of Athens.
