I hope so too.

The problem I see in alot of posts in not just this sub but in other similar subreddits like r/space and rNASA, that any time there is a post about the Chinese Space Program (or anything really related to China) there is a flood of very sinophobic rhetoric that kind of just derails the discussion from the original topic. You can criticize and voice your concerns about one thing and still be able to acknowledge that something was done right or they are doing something cool on another. It seems people have trouble separating their feelings towards the CCP versus basically anything else that has to do with China.

The first post wasn't really xenophobic cause there are legitimate reasons not to trust the CCP at face value, but this post definitely was. It's just baseless fear mongering.

I hope they have a safe trip!

I'm not sure about the rest of y'all but I'm excited with what appears to be the next space race! Too young to have been alive for the first one. But now we get to experience this one!
