Some day Tiananmen Square will belong to the Chinese People and not to the Chinese Communist Party. The motto

Journalist Fu Neinan stated, "Shenzhou takes off into space while the Red Flag hits the ground."

A nation is capable of successfully sending a spaceship into orbit, but is unable to produce safe powdered baby milk formula. This kind of regime is close to the day when the Red Flag hits the ground.

The Chinese communist regime’s mouthpiece, Xinhua news agency, followed the astronauts’ every move during their three day mission into space to ensure this great accomplishment was broadcasted for everyone to know. This is despite the fact that the paper reported the astronauts were already in space when in fact they did not leave the launching pad yet.

Xinhua was meticulous with its reporting of the spacewalk, which eventually eclipsed its news reporting on the melamine-laced infant formula and other tainted food products. While the rest of the world is paying attention to the tainted milk, Xinhua remains mum and leaves the unfortunate parents and their children in limbo with their tragedy. To make any additional reports would cause a blemish on the carefully groomed image the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) wants to perpetuate – glorious, right and correct.

Though the Chinese regime immediately censored any critical commentary from the Internet, and the 280,000 members of the "wumao" party are doing their best to insert CCP-friendly comments into the online forums, they cannot completely suppress the outrage and disappointment felt by the Chinese people.

Each Party-friendly comment posted online earns the “wumao” writer 50 RMB, approximately US$0.05. The Chinese people who want to protest the actions of the Chinese regime air their grievances in the forums, and send their opinions overseas as well using software that circumvents the firewall. The Chinese call this process "mo gao yi chi, Dao gao yi zhang." Loosely translated it means, "while the demon grows a foot, the Dao grows ten feet."

For discerning Chinese, Shenzhou 7 is merely a window dressing that the Party hopes will be its saving grace from the powdered milk scandal, and perpetuates its powers. The ruling minions needed a way out of the dairy product tragedy and thus advanced the space walk by one month from its original scheduled launch.

For discerning Chinese, who are slowly but finally awakening to the regime's ill intentions, hold this opinion: The spaceship launch and the spacewalk are merely straws that are no longer able to rescue the Party.
