oops! That was laughable. Get used to them, they are the Communist Party, never judge them by what they said. Just pay attention to what they do.;)

Actually free press does exactly the same, they have few versions of news-shorts pre-written and ready, just to be on time with its release (whatever happens, they are prepared). Same with governmental agencies and their press staff. In this case they've just made a terrible mistake, someone clicked in the wrong place and released the text too early ;) PR/propaganda stays the same - no matter what kind of ideology drives the system - we have been lied to way too many times :o

 

Back on topic though. I'm really interested in Chinese EVA suit, I'd like to see some high quality photography of it, anyone found some already?
