So... Don't announce scientific achievements by your national space agency during an election? Talk about skewed perspectives.

  Wait, now I'm confused... is it a military national security issue or a scientific achievement? China managed to not have Xi Jinping announce when they did it.

    > China managed to not have Xi Jinping announce when they did it. Which test you're talking about? Xi wasn't leading China back in 2007. And thanks to the ignorance of their top brass, the Chinese received considerable negative reaction after the test.[1] 1. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Chinese_anti-satellite_missile_test https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Chinese_anti-satellite_...

      > Xi wasn't leading China back in 2007. You're right - I was confusing it with the more recent non-destructive tests that were also not explicitly announced. And I don't think they received negative reaction because they didn't announce. It's no secret that the West is not full of fans of China

    Yah man. We need to celebrate space agencies/scientists even less.
