Whenever there is something goes beyond your imagination on China, I see sore grape comments. Sure, China copies cause China lags behind Western technology in past 100 years. It has to copy to catch up first. Now the situation is changing. To tell some ambition projects (if you are willing to believe):
- China lunar mission project is not national imaging project like US/Russia did. The real goal is to obtain helium-3 from the moon which can enable nuclear fusion plants on Earth. This will be ultimate human energy solution cause it's clean and unlimited resource.
- China is building world’s biggest radio telescope in Guizhou Province. It's a five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). To be expected completion in 2016.
- China possess the world largest high speed train network across country. They are in service!. I knew what you would say about recent accident. Think about it. Japan has no accident cause it has one line only. US has none. Plane can crash. Don't complain high speed train only. It's relative new. I believe high speed train will compete aeroplane in future. I used to ride many times. It's comfort, spacious and quite. You go to train station, buy ticket and go, no airport hassle and not that slow compare to flight.
- China is building its own GPS system, Beidou, rivals US one. Guess what, its receiver can send message back to satellite.
