Part 8/10:
Propaganda and Nationalistic Rhetoric
China’s state propaganda reflects a combative stance. An official post from the CCP’s Central Political and Legal Commission cynically compared China’s space endeavors with India’s pandemic-related tragedies, framing space launches as acts akin to "sending people to the heavens."
In response, many Chinese netizens expressed condemnation, criticizing the regime's callousness. Comments have called out the prioritization of technological achievements over human safety, emphasizing that the government treats citizens’ livelihoods as secondary to national prestige.
