The Chinese Communist Party has always been known for stealing advanced technology from Europe and the United States. A few days ago, the Chinese Communist Party claimed that the “Zhu Rong” Mars rover “successfully landed” and was questioned whether it was also copying NASA technology. Netizens found that the “landing animation” of the Mars rover released by the party media was highly similar to a NASA cartoon 10 years ago.

On May 15, the National Space Administration of the Communist Party of China (NSA) announced that the Zhu Rong rover had “successfully landed in the northern hemisphere of Mars” aboard the Tianwen 1 lander. The party media and the Internet were abuzz with joy.

However, an animated film (video link) released by the party media showing the landing of Tianwen-1 on Mars has been questioned. Some netizens compared it to footage from NASA’s Curiosity Mars landing animation (video link) in 2011, showing that the two were identical, in terms of camera design and composition, and even editing.

Some people have edited together the relevant clips from the CCP video and NASA video, and the results show that the animation showing the entire landing process of Tianqin-1 and Curiosity’s video are “highly synchronized “The two rovers differ only in their construction and shape.

The video has been circulating on the Internet, sparking heated debate among netizens. Many netizens questioned the Chinese Communist Party’s copying of NASA’s animation: “How convenient, change a change and use it again” “Shame on you” “Even this kind of animation has to be copied, and copied so obviously” “The post-production is worse than the original, and the difference is ten years”

Others mocked, “Strongly condemn the U.S. for using a time machine to copy Chinese space animation!”

In recent years, the Chinese Communist Party’s official media has been “keeping up with the times” by using a large number of video clips to showcase its so-called “mighty national power,” but they have been repeatedly accused of plagiarism and even falsification.

In September last year, the Chinese Air Force released a video of a Boom-6K mock bombing of a U.S. base in Guam, only to be caught in the act and found that many scenes were cut from several Hollywood blockbusters.

In September and October last year, the Communist Party’s official military microblogging service and CCTV released videos of so-called military “combat drills” to intimidate Taiwan, including images of 10 Dongfeng-11A missiles firing in unison and armed landings on the island. But netizens discovered that the footage was cut from a trailer for a mainland TV series and from the Rocket Force’s “Heavenly Sword” series of drills in 2016.
