    This has a 1950s retro-futurist vibe, probably betraying that deep down, they know the US and Europe failed to bring the george jetson future they promised, and now it’s China’s turn to try. With Fusion power and mars missions coming from China in the next few decades, we’re witnessing massive self-deluded coping from western supremacists. I’m pry overthinking it tho.

      It also accidentally shows they’re still stuck in the Cold War mentality. I bet some are outright secretly giddy to have a “big bad Red Menace” to fear.
