Chinese space program

I found this article on global security today. And I have to say this is one of the most well written and thoughtful articles I have ever read on the Chinese space industry.

It spends a great deal of time talking about China's goal of creating its own space station and how that would affect its manned lunar program. I think it also raised interesting points in that the Chinese program is actually not getting as much money as compared to the military programs in spite of the dual use nature of space technology. And also, it's important to point out that China has adopted a general strategy of relying all on domestically sourced parts. Which is also a choice it has made in its military complex (although it has not reached that stage yet).
