Don't think China is challenging anyone, they are simply doing their own thing.

Wow, if USA decides to go to the Moon and Mars, it's called exploring. But if China is the case, they outright call it a conquering move.

[с.пкоролёв]

That’s the Professional double standards!

[AlexH-ntgg]

Interesting word choice of using "conquer" instead of "explore."

[lazararck]

U.S: today we have confirmed existence of oil in iraq and we’re going to “explore” that place

[zhoma]

When American went to the Moon, it was called to explore for human being, when China's Change landed on the moon, it is called China's plan to conquer the Moon.

America: sends missions to mars.
Media: another great scientific achievement for the US and humankind

China: sends missions to mars.
Media: hOw cHiNa is tRyiNg to CONQUER SPACE

[pedrob]

USA landing on the Moon: a giant step for mankind.
China landing on the Moon: OMG they want to conquer the whole Universe!

[anonymous]

Us: exploration
China: conquer
Oh I see🙄🙄🙄

[dreeew]

Why using the word conquer? Space travel should be an opportunity to unify people, you are doing the opposite.

[privatemalone]

The problem with the US is that everything in their eyes is a race and competition, not co-existence. Is that why there is always so much conflict in the world?

[Sophia-wdtl]

When China goes to space, it’s conquer, when us goes to space, it’s hero

[LD-gphm]

Since WSJ become a propaganda machine of nationalism and protectionism, I started to lose trust in its investing advices and financial opinions.

[冒顿虎]

An American probe landed on the moon; Western media: a great step in human history； A Chinese probe landed on the moon； Western media: China tries to invade moon

[aha]

Are there still any planets that hasn't owned by America? Let the world know, so the other 5.8 billion people will not "conquer"...

[JackieWelles]

When China goes to space its to conquer, when US goes to space its to spread freedom and American values LoL
I'm no fan of CCP but for real this video should have a different tittle. Its pretty amazing how fast Chinese space exploration advance, especially after the moon rover landings.

[burakbasaranlar]

Expenditures on space programs (Million)- US: 47.691. China: 8.852.
The title of the video: CHINA'S PLAN TO CONQUER THE MOON, MARS AND MORE.

[华夏蒲公英]

It was the United States that prevented China from joining the space station, so China built its own space station.
China has never thought about competing with others, but implementing it according to its own plan.

[jasonczarzzzz]

Why using the world ”Conquer”?
Only Americans can explore the universe.

[graysonyang]

Why you used "conquer"? Every country can get there if technology permits. It's just a matter of time
