The successful launch of Tiangong-1, and the successful docking of Shenzhou-8 with Tiangong-1... Basically, every time I watch domestic news, bad news often makes me feel unpleasant. But these two pieces of news are indeed exciting, making people happy and worthy of celebration!
After the successful launch of Tiangong-1, I read two articles in Japan's Asahi Shimbun and Sankei Shimbun. The one published in the Asahi Shimbun was written by a scholar from Japan's aerospace research agency (I forgot his name). The article generally stated that by 2020, the international space station jointly developed by Japan, the United States, Russia, and several other countries will be retired and destroyed. However, at that time, China's independent space station will be completed and put into use. This article wrote with great concern: By 2020, when the United States has children [http://www.yzteb.com/], there may only be China's independent space station in the universe. By then, China will become the "space hegemon." While the Japanese government is still fussing over the Great East Japan Earthquake and the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident, the Chinese government is developing its own aerospace industry with a long-term perspective. Therefore, this scholar criticized: Compared to the Chinese government, the Japanese government undoubtedly lacks developmental vision and is very short-sighted...
The other article published in the Sankei Shimbun was written by a Chinese military researcher named Hiramatu Shigeo. This article titled [The Era of China's Space Military is Approaching] analyzed the significance of the successful launch of Tiangong-1 from a military perspective.
This Japanese expert who studies China's military wrote in the article: As a person who has observed China's military for a long time [http://www.yzteb.com], 20 years ago when he talked about China's future space military to Japan's Defense Agency and the Self-Defense Forces, he was even laughed at. However, the successful launch of Tiangong-1 this time was truly shocking! Because future wars will no longer be flat wars on the ground but three-dimensional wars aimed at capturing space. One of the focal points of [space competition] is [outer space]. Whoever has an advantage in outer space may become the winner of the space competition war. This Chinese military researcher pointed out: In future wars, armed forces will be divided into [Space Military] outside the atmosphere and highly integrated [Naval, Land, and Air Military] within the atmosphere [http://www.yzteb.com/]... And the [Era of China's Space Military] is undoubtedly approaching.
Hiramatu Shigeo's article clearly presents the view of the [China Threat Theory]. Articles that align with this viewpoint include others like [Regarding Tiangong-1: Prohibiting Space Hegemonism]. Japan's Sankei Shimbun even published an editorial saying that today's China is extremely similar to Japan in 1941 when it attacked Pearl Harbor, stepping onto the path of war—such theories are truly absurdly funny! As a Chinese person, I cannot believe that China launching a [Tiangong] and docking with [Shenzhou-8] leads to [space hegemonism], threatens other countries' security, or means [China wants to start a war]. ... Remember a sentence said by a Chinese foreign correspondent: [Chinese people have never stared at the food in others' pots; they just want to cook their own pot better.] Moreover, looking at China's development history, one can see that in Chinese thinking, defense has always been the main focus. Otherwise, the ancient Chinese would not have built such a magnificent Great Wall for no reason. This Great Wall of China is not only built on China's land but also neatly constructed in the minds of the Chinese people. Although many ancient cities in China have been demolished during the construction and development process, the [Great Wall will never fall]—this includes the enormous [Great Wall] constructed in the minds of the Chinese people.
Just like what Mr. Mu Xin once said: [The Chinese have awakened, not through awakening, but through being shouted awake.]—there is a significant difference in the quality of this [awakening] and being [shouted awake].
So, why are you so anxious, Japanese? With such a large population in China, we are busy enough dealing with our own [hegemony]; where do we have the time to [hegemonize] you?
