Does China Have A Space Program?

First of all I know nothing about aviation.  The only thing I can fly is a kite.  Go ahead and laugh so I'm not the cream of the crop the expert journalist who knows about space exploration perhaps even having lived the life of an aviator.  But I do fly kites for fun and yes I am a grown up man who hasn't gone beyond the level of a child to more sophisticated devices or craft.  Many of us haven't.  And so therefore I can take some of you to the   sport mostly children adore not adults so much.  If it is safe then I will fly it and yes Howard Huges was a great  man an aviator and industrialist who I came to admire.  Call me one of his fans.  The time before  last not counting  today the Chinese were recovering from  a long time of being in  the cellar poor and backwards and when in  grammar school the Chinese space program consisted of cartoons mocking the Chinese sitting in a rocking chair with fireworks beneath the chair in their attempt to send a man far far away.  But my teacher stepped in and interceded by not ridiculing the Chinese.  This was in the 1950's when Elvis was the pelvis.  The thing to do for me was to tell my classmates that I was Japanese after all they had some pretty good ships and a navy until they were defeated by America.  From what the expert journalist report on the Chinese Space Program they the Chinese are doing a little bit more than putting firecrackers beneath a rocking chair and sending it off to the moon.  And no I did not get this from my 1973 Funk And Wagner set of encyclopedias.  But the real question is how did the Forty Niners do today against their opponent?  Did you think I would want to  jinx them by watching play?  If they lose today then I will be hurt far less than if I watched it.  It would be nice to see this home town team of mine claim another dynasty  in football like they did in the 80's.  Do I have to wear another paper bag over my head  and see the word dynasty as just another foreign word?
