So eBay wants to expand Paypal to China, and the valley is all abuzz about Google’s possible buyout of Chinese search juggernaut Baidu, possibly before its IPO later this month. Now the only left for the Chinese to do is to continue the space race. Oh, wait.
BEIJING: China is drawing up its own version of the US-built Deep Impact probe, media reported on Wednesday, two days after the American spacecraft smashed into a comet.
The third nation to launch a man into space has lofty space ambitions that include putting two astronauts into orbit this September and eventually sending up a space station and even a manned mission to the moon.
ÒActually, our country has its own Deep Impact plans, itÕs just weÕve never revealed them to the public before,Ó the Beijing News quoted Chinese astronomer Zhao Haibin as saying.
