Even the Chinese don't trust "Made-In-China"
First, we have to congratulate China on her wonderful historical making (for the right reason at least for now) in sending man to space and making the spacewalk, even thought it was only like 15 minutes to go out of the space capsule to retrieve the dry fuel outside it, a purpose creating for the sake for that spacewalk I believe.
When we read all the news, remember, the inner message carried in those articles written around the world stated the facts, the obvious items. What they do not provide for you is the analysis behind the implication, the hidden meaning meant for idle people like me to decipher on their mindset.
We all know that space technology is among the most advanced technology in the world, the other being nuclear science. People ask called advanced technology beyond their field/knowledge "rocket science" to emphasis how advanced space technology is.
Three taikonauts went out to space, on-board the Shenzhou 7, one (Zhai Zhigang) was supposed to make the spacewalk, another (Liu Boming) was also in the airlock module to assist the spacewalk, and the third guy (Jing Haipeng) was in the re-entry capsule to monitor the situation. Note that the re-entry capsule was air-tighted from the airlock module.
Now come the interesting facts, ZZG was wearing a China-made Feitian spacesuit, and LBM was wearing a Russian-made Orlan-M spacesuit. It is a fact stated in many online news article that I read. Conveniently, this fact was not clearly highlighted on CCTV website. Why is this so interesting?
If you read very carefully at these facts, you should realised that even the Chinese themselves don't trust themselves, and we are talking about "rocket technology". Yes, they have made a new spacesuit in Feitian, worn by the poor chap (who happens to be a hero now) ZZG. You could not but feel pity for him, forth he is but a guinea pig for testing. A guiena pig for trying out their "Made in China" branded products. If this product is faulty, nevermind, he dies, yes, but the other guy LBM is wearing the tried-and-tested Russian-made spacesuit can remedy the situation by retrieving his deady body (if there is any skin left due to the likelihood of him exploding in the leaked spacesuit in vacuum).
Now you can see their mindset, the typical Chinese mindset. Two items; (a) human lives is expandable for the sake of glory, and (b) we don't trust our products too.
Here, we are talking about ROCKET SCIENCE, not commodities like milk! You created a new set of spacesuit after heavy investment and lots of testing and you don't trust your creation? How interesting...
