The problem is that China is so secretive about it, it's hard to get any info at all, and they don't seem to feed much to the western media.
I totally disagree with that. The Chinese Lunar Exploration Program is well known and has a Wikipedia page where you can read all about it, past, present and future.
The Chinese Government is not secretive at all but, on the contrary, are presenting it as a great achievement.
It is western media who give low precedence to news from China; [by].. non-western countries
I would say the same about Russia, Middle East, etc. There are perfectly good news sources out there Russia Today, Al Jazeera, etc.... we dismiss them ...[peroid]. We are more interested in knowing that Sandra Bullock got a pimple on her nose and what she did about it.
Solder, I so agree, and agree, and agree.
However, China promote as great achievements and makes public,except for the details, until certain. Russia does this...and other nations.
Tthe USA goes on and on and on about what we are, what we want to, and so often what we plan to, but never do... Welcome to the empire and Emerald City.... Only not so emerald.
I quit, disturbed by, US news when American TV stations suddenly changed all of their TV news sets the day we started bomping Iraq. Months of Scott Ritter saying there "are NO!! WMD's here" repeatedly reporting, UNSCOM (sp?) have covered all Iraq, had carte blanche to do surprise inspections anywhere. Then, I one day all the news stations just ignored what they had been covering for months and war joined the bandwagon.
Truth is, by watching and reading international sources I still get more than enough US news..
May I add? 24, NHK, and DW (not "America") the Hurriet, and some of those independent, non-mainstream..typically non-profit investigative sources?
So many US top, Pulitzer Prize journalists have left their major papers & have gone outside of the USA to independent organizations to report..
AH!! I just learned that all the US "fake news" talk, actually started with Putin and Russia, which is very old strategy to create doubt and make citizen's except the propaganda they want you to believe.
