Everybody tries to give the best spin to yesterday’s launch failure. Chinese occasionally put out the most colorful and conspiratorial one.
Yes, thank you. On “propaganda,” by the way, I was referring only to the comment by the Chinese man on Phoenix Television. On the “best spin,” it’s understandable. Life is difficult enough without despotic dictators and the wars they eventually bring to other nations.
Many people hope such dictators will simply start being good and peaceful. Or they hope that with a single tyrant removed from a position of power, another tyrant from the same culture of communism, fascism or monarchy will not take his place. Sadly, such hopes are like a desire that a river will reverse on its own to run uphill.
