Reuters and news about China. quite reliable indeed. In the meantime China is boosting forward. Absolutely no way that there is 46% unemployement in China. In general all over the world there is shortage of workers. Also in China. You mentioned Soviet space race failure. Russia/USSR did not fail with the space race. Even today they have a strong position in space travel.
