He would claim US has better satellite but can't back up his words. Everything from him is based on perception and not reality.
His words is just fart without any backing. I despise this kind of people. No substance and still dare to act tough.Maybe our friend (wrongly) believes that an average American somehow has higher IQ than an average Chinese.
Hope it will be Y-20 to do that job in near future.Chinese Scientists Sure About Features of Shenzhou-11 Spacecraft

China's Shenzhou-11 manned spacecraft has arrived at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on Saturday, readying itself for liftoff later in the year for a docking with the country's manned first space lab Tiangong-2.
Tiangong-2 will be launched in September, to be followed by Shenzhou-11 with two astronauts on board.
Before departing for Jiuquan, Shenzhou-11 has allowed a brief peek for China Central Television to get some rough ideas about its similarities and differences with its predecessors.
Like its predecessors, Shenzhou-11 also has three modules, namely the orbital module, the returning capsule and the propelling module. Though it is designed with three cabins for as many astronauts, Shenzhou-11 will be launched with just two astronauts on board.
"It's a manned spacecraft. If there are fewer people on board, we can transport more cargo in the stead for to-go and to-come-back trips with materials for space experimentation," says Zheng Wei, assistant chief designer of spacecraft system with the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.
Shenzhou-11 will dock with Tiangong-2 for a joint 30-day space flight, which will be longest manned space flight for China. It is therefore also a test for the spacecraft itself.
"Shenzhou-II has inherited all the tried and true features of its predecessors of Shenzhou-8, -9 and -10. It is therefore of confirmed stability, higher reliability and more maturity," Zheng adds.
So it turns out China's Yutu Moon rover could still be alive

China's Jade Rabbit rover was the first such mission to the Moon since the 1970s, and has contributed to scientific discoveries and top quality images of the Moon.
So when it was reported last week that the lunar rover had bitten the lunar dust, the news was understandably widely covered and received with sadness.
However, those reports may turn out to be premature.
News of the demise of Yutu, as it is named in Chinese, began on July 31 with the appearance of a widely-shared 'farewell' post from the rover's official account on Sina Weibo, China's Twitter-like social media platform.
It was then seemingly confirmed by Chinese state media such as People's Daily (Chinese) that Jade Rabbit had ceased operating at the start of its 33rd lunar night, some 972 days after launch on December 2, 2013.
The reports cited a source at the State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense (SASTIND), which oversees the country's space activities.
This in turn resulted in a slew of articles in Western media reporting the death of Yutu, with the assumption that the rover had failed some time after the start of the latest lunar night, when temperatures sink as low as minus 180 degrees Celsius.

Those trolls will give personal fantasy reply without credible link and articles to back any of their nonsense.
