Everything Chinese is reduced to "China".
- rrss 7y agoNASA's brand is much better known than CNSA's.
- markdown 7y agoGee... do you think maybe that's because NASA's achievements are attributed to NASA while CNSA's are attributed to "China"?
- emiliobumachar 7y agoThat's both a cause and an effect. Getting a brand off the ground is hard, and presumably CNSA is not too bothered by representing its host country.
- rrss 7y agoI think it is because NASA 1. is 30 years older 2. did that whole "men on the moon" thing 3. is featured frequently in U.S. media, which is consumed around the world. Also, the CNSA refers to everything it does as China's accomplishments: http://www.cnsa.gov.cn/english/index.html http://www.cnsa.gov.cn/english/index.html.
