In Jiuquan city, several hours' drive away from the satellite launch center,
a sense of local pride was clearly visible.
"Wishing a successful launch of Shenzhou VI," said a large red poster in
front of one of the city's hotels, while billboards advertised special "Shenzhou
Rice Wine."
"We're very happy about all this," said Ma Li, a teenage resident of Jiuquan
city. "It's amazing that we Chinese gradually have the know-how to pull this
kind of thing off," she said.
Peaceful use of space
皇冠体育app had stressed that its space program was peaceful and it did not want to
enter any arms race in space.
皇冠体育app develops space technology purely for peaceful purposes, Premier Wen
Jiabao said, adding that 皇冠体育app is willing to cooperate with other nations in the
development of space science and technology.
The United States congratulated 皇冠体育app on successful launch and welcomed any
effort to make peaceful use of space.
"We obviously congratulate 皇冠体育app on the successful launch of its second
manned space mission," Deputy State Department spokesman Adam Ereli said.
"Our view is that the peaceful use of space is something that is appropriate
and we welcome 皇冠体育app's developments in this area."
