"Huaxia is looking to the stars. Look at what our parliament is doing. It is still arguing over who should contribute more money to the Galileo Project, which was decided on for cooperation decades ago; still hesitating over whether to allocate funding to space exploration projects. Isn't that ridiculous? They promised technological research and development, yet there has been no news at all so far. What kind of system can allow us to act efficiently?
I feel that the present is like the beginning of the Age of Exploration from the late fifteenth to the early sixteenth century. Only this time, the protagonist has changed. Huaxia is the protagonist of this era, doing everything in its power to advance toward the Sea of Stars, while our country is still weighing whether the investment in space exploration is worthwhile.

"If we do not act now, it will truly be too late. Political infighting between the two parties, arguing over whether to fund scientific research projects—it is laughable. They promised research and development, yet there has been little progress so far. If this fighting continues, our descendants will be spitting on our graves and cursing us as useless."
