    and one thing also to note - just how different the Chinese are to the Japanese

    Japanese were wonderful - it took how many years to turn old British motors that leaked and smoked - but, were good besides the mess and waste ---------- it took Japan to clean them up into wonderful wonderful engines

    but, that's all they could do besides make things small - to fetish levels

    Not so China - yep, China will give you a great copy and the quality will range from perfect to total crap - depending on how much you want to spend

    BUT - they will also invent a train that might go at 4000 km an hour -----------

    the difference is chalk and cheese. The Japanese have done a little like that - but, it stretches them

    The Chinese - put a lander on the moon - first pop

    first pop ----------

    on their second go - they didn't bother to televise it ------------ too boring

    wow


    China's Chang'e 3 moon lander and its Yutu rover touched down on the moon on December 14, 2013, making China only the third nation to achieve a soft landing on the lunar surface.

    This was China's first successful moon landing, after previous Chinese lunar missions had only orbited the moon.
