Even the Chinese government called Mars One to be a scam [1], and advised their citizens to avoid the organization.
So when you've got China calling you out to be a fraud, then you must definitely be doing something wrong, in order for them to bother issuing a public statement like that.

- fastball 9y agoWhat sense does that make? Or, China could feel threatened by the project because they want to get to Mars first?
- zingmars 9y agoEVEN the Chinese government? You say that like they're in business of scamming people. And honestly reading the original Chinese articles it doesn't look like an official government position or anything. It's just a newspaper that happens to be owned by the ruling party posting an article on things happening in the west.
- RobertRoberts 9y agoI would suppose the commenter was referring to the fact that most of the business scams based on fake products (that us normal everyday people would be directly affected by) come from China. And since the Chinese government has large stakes or outright ownership of those businesses, they are culpable in massive worldwide product scams. (I really don't think I need to link the news articles for this it's so pervasive).
