>I really hate these sinophiles' attempts to elevate China into some super-awesome, super-intelligent master race.

Please don't do this. You are seeing things in the text that isn't there and you seem to do the same just the other way around. It reads anti-chinese / racist.

There are two reasons to point "on the first try" and leave out all the other context (in particular, the giant body of work done by other space agencies and engineering technologies, especially the US's, that China built on): 1) to artificially elevate China's achievement; 2) out of ignorance. I suppose an assumption of ignorance might be considered more charitable somehow, since at least it implies the author could learn something.

He was just arguing against (what he perceived as) excessive sinophilia.

I'm often suspicious of china's motives, but I didn't see any sinophilia in the posts they're replying to. You did say "perceived" though, but it's a fine line. Some crazy people also see "Jews" in every aspect of money and government and it eventually turns into hate.
