China to select 15 more women as astronauts

China's official Xinhua news agency has finally confirmed that sixteen female pilots (pix) of the PLA- Air Force will parade its jet fighters in Beijing on 1 October. Xinhua also reported that the republic is also in the process of selecting 15 more females to be trained as astronauts. In the feudal past, women in China were accorded inferior position in the society but as Chairman Mao once observed : "women can hold up half of the sky". The liberation and also progressive empowerment of women is certainly one of the very great contributions of the Chinese Revolution to the betterment of the human condition in modern time.
