China reports a malfunction in the lunar rover that landed last month. The Administration of Technology, Industry and Defense in Beijing reported on its website that there are deficiencies in the functioning of the Yutu vehicle.

In the short notice it was stated that the deficiencies stem from the challenging environment on the surface of the moon, and that the scientists are planning a comprehensive treatment of the problem, but no details were provided about the nature of the malfunction. The Yutu vehicle landed on the lunar surface inside the Chang'e-3 spacecraft, and is intended for a comprehensive geological study of the lunar surface.

The successful landing of the Chinese spacecraft on the moon was a source of immense pride in Beijing. China is the third country to soft-land a spacecraft on the moon, after the United States and the Soviet Union, and the first to do so after nearly four decades.

    Instead of hiding behind a fake name, show your real name. You are neither a fool nor a fool, and you are certainly not a particle of God, but rather a creator of the world, if there is such a thing, smaller than you.. As for your question, I have an academic background in political science, and as for you, I am more than convinced that you do not. Give me the name of a book or article you have read in this field and give me an extract of it so that I can see that yours has.

    What you claim certainly brings up dark thoughts. All the problems you present originate from something very fundamental. The USA today has no visionary leadership. Obama is not exactly a big success. Presidents who knew how to lead are Roosevelt and Kennedy. For example, Kennedy's statement that by the end of the decade, meaning the 60s, the United States would land a man on the moon, and that was indeed the case. As a result, 3 million people worked around the Apollo program. Projects on a national scale are an extremely important factor in economic development. Imagine, for example, that the American president sets a national goal of landing a man on Mars within 5 years, and in my estimation it is possible even in a shorter time since all the essential technologies for this already exist today. Setting a goal of this magnitude would give the American economy a huge boost. All that is needed is a president who knows how to make up his mind and not be an Obama-style stickler.

  3. Well, this is the last response on this topic. I formed my opinion under the influence of David Passig, and Amnon Sela. I believe that the crisis in China will break out in 2020 or 2030. Then maybe the Chinese support will stop, with the disgust that leads North Korea. Those who believe the reports should be perfumed. Rachel Beit Aryeh does not report from there. ("Interesting why").

    To me, I see a decline in the US, both economically and technologically. I work a lot with Americans, with companies that are considered the technology leaders in their field, and the situation is not good. See the JSF, the 787, and the flightless auto industry. In electronics, the USA has not been a leader for a long time, and even the American software industry, in my opinion, is in decline.
    China is changing. The Chinese are insanely disciplined and smart. In the past we saw a lot of junk from China but I think that is changing.
    The effect of this on the rural areas is important, but that is another issue. The situation in small towns in America is not exactly encouraging. A company I have worked for in the US for years, in a town in the Midwest, is moving to a big city - and the town is losing its main employer. This is not a rare thing in the US... see the Detroit entry.

    I don't like China, and I'm not ready to enter it, but there has been a huge change there.

    First an easy fix. The word with at the beginning of your answer is not a conditional word, what is called "if then" in the conditional syntax. China is really moving forward, but a growth rate of 9% is very large. Actually too big.. what is the social price that China will pay for. That is not clear. Social and economic issues are interrelated. Such a fast and demanding pace of life and economy may lead to the erosion of society.. China went from a communist regime to a capitalist one at record speed. Within several decades since Mao's death. This is a process that in other countries lasted hundreds of years until they reached the capitalist nature and it also had to be moderated. In China in the previous centuries, especially in the 19th and 20th centuries, there were no economic thinkers and these were of great importance. China strives for hegemony in the Pacific Ocean. If because of Formosa or some kind of conflict you go to war with Japan, for example, how will it affect its economy? All of China's economic glory is in its coastal cities. What about its internal parts, the so-called hinterland in political science is not exactly a success story. Large parts are still agricultural and unindustrialized areas.

    Well done to America, China is marching ahead. This is not the case at the moment, but China will lead. I have no love for China, but America is losing its edge.

    Due to a typo I am not an anonymous user. The person answering you is Haim Mazar. If you want your words to be taken seriously, respond in the format of an article, provided that it is human in nature.

    Nothing can be understood from your words. On the one hand, you claim that "as long as China remains communist, America will be stronger than China." And on the other hand you claim "in the 50's the Soviet Union grew faster than America" ​​and then the USSR was communist and regarding the corruption in China does it stem from the system. Some kind of economic, political corruption or both together. Not clear. Have you read any studies at all on corruption. I have an impression and correct me if I'm wrong. You haven't read anything about it. Name at least one article on this topic so I can get your head around it.
    And my impression of your understanding of political science and the modern history of China is lacking. If you stand your ground, maybe you will start giving lectures in the political science department at one of the universities or in the departments of modern Chinese history. Perhaps you will write a book on the subject, provided that it complies with the standards of academic writing. Just don't say you shouldn't read books.

  9. Wake up yourself, in the 50s the Soviet Union grew faster than America. Whoever was born in China in the 80s will support his parents and his wife's parents (if he is lucky and managed to marry). Corruption in China will always be great because the system is corrupt.

  10. Asaf
    wake up China has long been non-communist. It is not a democracy yet. All that remains of the Communist Party is just the name of the ruling party. Economically it is capitalist in nature. You should read some books on political science and the history of China after Man Tse Tung.

  11. Those who don't do it are not wrong
    Gentlemen, this is the first mission of the Chinese to the moon - they are allowed to make mistakes
    It is important for them to find the source of the problem and the reason so that it does not happen next time.
    To remind you, the Americans and the Russians had many, many failed missions before every successful space mission.

  12. The wording of the message is reminiscent of the convoluted and vague wording of the Russians during the Cold War in everything related to space flights when these ended in failure

  13. "...the deficiencies arise from the challenging environment on the surface of the moon" - sounds like "eat me drink me".
    They didn't know in advance what the conditions were there?
