        Nonsense. I can already see the headlines:

        "Mars Attacks! China Declares War on Red Planet, May Turns Eyes Toward Earth Next!"

        "Did Chinese Dictator-for-Life Li Keqiang just violate a 100 year old Space Treaty by putting Chinese soldiers on Mars?"

        "How the Chinese Space Program Succeeded where Americans Failed: The Case for a Racially Homogeneous Government"

        "First Woman On Mars. A Tale of Triumph in the Face of Adversity and One Incredible Woman's Struggle Against the Misogynists in Beijing"
