Dude no one gives a damn if it was staged or real, one thing I noticed though the Chinese at one stage were about to postpone a manned mission due to technical snags by a year - but then suddenly within two weeks they pull out a perfect mission so that clearly was a doubting point, no one's going to go to outer space to see whether it really did happen or not so anybody can get away with anything and it really doesn't matter to anyone whether it was a success or not.
Not only that, and this one is a FACT, the Chinese Media printed an article that proclaimed the mission a SUCCESS with COMPLETE description of commentary b/w Astronauts and Control Room
even before the event SUPPOSEDLY happened.
then the article was REMOVED and said to be published as a technical mistake!! well technical mistake or not, but how come the article contained details of Astronauts conversation and how it described it a success even before the MISSION LIFT OFF. Jeeezzz !!!!

False news report
A false news article appeared on Xinhua News Agency's website on 25 September 2008, reporting mission events dated 27 September 2008; the article was reported in several mainstream news sources.[34] The report described in detail the launch, which had not yet occurred, as well as the process of tracking and data transfer by a tracking ship,
and dialogue between the crew members in space. The report was taken down the same day, and when contacted by the Associated Press, a xinhuanet.com staffer stated that it had been a "technical error by a technician. "
Shenzhou 7 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"
The country’s official news agency Xinhua published an article dated September 27 – two days from now –
complete with an entire dialogue between the three men aboard Shenzhou 7. The astronaut’s mission, which will feature the Communist state’s first-ever space walk, began at 2.10pm UK time when their rocket blasted into the sky from its base in Jiuquan in the northwestern Gansu province. But Xinhua’s apparent propaganda article - titled Sleepless Night On The Pacific, Sidelights On The Observation And Control Of The 30th Lap Of Shenzhou 7 Spaceship –
was posted on its website more than two hours before."
