FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
She is the top subject of discussion on Weibo, the Chinese version of Twitter,
with a staggering 33 million posts greeting the announcement that she was to
be the first Chinese woman in space.
A communist party member known for giving rousing patriotic speeches, Major
Liu has not disappointed her millions of new fans, saying at Friday’s press
conference how she “yearned to gaze upon the motherland” from space.
“I am grateful to the motherland and the people. I feel honoured to fly into
space on behalf of hundreds of millions of female Chinese citizens,” said
Major Liu.
Married, a requirement for all of China’s female astronauts, with a passion
for cooking and now resident in Beijing, Major Liu has enjoyed a dizzying
rise, having only been selected to join the astronaut programme two years
ago.
Born and raised in Zhengzhou, the capital of central Henan Province, her
earliest ambition as a young child was to be a bus conductor.
Described as a diligent and quiet schoolgirl, she enrolled in the air force in
1997 and trained to be a transport plane pilot in Changchun, in the
northeastern province of Jilin.
She demonstrated her coolness under pressure in 2003 by safely landing a plane
after its right engine had been disabled when it was struck by birds soon
after take-off.
Major Liu’s role will be to run the scientific experiments set be to be
carried out during the mission. Shenzhou 9 is expected to dock with the
experimental Tiangong-1 space lab in around two days.
It will be the fourth manned mission to be launched by China.
Major Liu and her two male companions will then spend a week aboard the
cramped module.
At some point, they will disengage Shenzhou 9 from the space lab and then
re-dock it manually. China must master such techniques if it is to achieve
its goal of building its own space station by 2020.
