Criticising China for exploiting earth resources? That’s rich, coming from a Western country. They’re just catching up to us; we showed the way.China has its own space programme. After America’s prior rejection of Chinese participation in the ISS on the grounds that the nation had little to offer, we now have Tiangong-1 up. How soon before the Chinese on the moon? Which is fine by me. But it would have been better if there had been international co-operation from the word go.Van Dam is not one of my favourite cartoonists; usually reveals a short-sightedness and a hypocrisy that is breath-taking.

It IS interesting that China is expanding with business, rather than bombs.
