The spacewalk by one of the astronauts is expected to take place either on Friday or Saturday.

The spacewalk is expected to help China master the technology for docking two orbiters to create China's first orbiting space station in the next few years.

The spacewalk could happen either Friday or Saturday depending on how well the astronauts adapt to weightlessness and other physical demands of their environment, according to the China Manned Space Engineering Office.

The astronauts would return to Earth soon after the spacewalk, the office said.
The two astronauts who don spacesuits for the Shengzhou 7 spacewalk will be supported by Russian experts throughout the mission. Only one will actually leave the orbiter module to retrieve scientific experiments placed outside.

One of the astronauts will wear China's homemade Feitian suit, while the other will wear a Russian-made suit.

Recently, an important event about Shen Zhou 7 is payed attention to by Chinese and people all over the world.Tomorrow, the launch window for China's Shenzhou 7 space mission will open. The mission is apparently slated for liftoff at 9:10 PM Beijing time on September 25. This flight will carry three astronauts for the first time, and include China's first spacewalk.

Shenzhou 7 will carry three Chinese military pilots on a three-day mission that will include the burgeoning space program's first spacewalk.

Zhai Zhigang, a 42-year-old pilot in the Chinese air force, will don a 265-pound indigenous spacesuit for a 40-minute excursion outside the Shenzhou 7 spacecraft. Zhai will be tethered to the ship during the spacewalk, reportedly scheduled for Friday or Saturday on the flight's second day in space.

Chinese state television will provide live coverage of the launch and the groundbreaking spacewalk, officials announced earlier this week.
Shenzhou 7 will be China's third human spaceflight since the nation's first piloted mission in 2003. Two astronauts flew into space on a five-day mission in 2005 to demonstrate the ship's ability to support longer flights.

Chinese Engineers Present New Spacesuit

Chinese spaceflight research specialists have presented a new domestically created spacesuit to be used in spacewalks by the country's astronauts, the China Daily said Thursday.
The spacesuit weighs 120 kilograms, and each model will cost about 30 million yuan ($4.4 million) to produce, the state-run paper said.

"The extravehicular spacesuit is now on board the Shenzhou VII at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center," the article said.

The first spacewalk by a Chinese astronaut, to be carried out by 42-year-old fighter pilot Zhai Zhigang, will be broadcast live on national television.

Melamine, The Muderer of Chinese Baby

Several days ago, a child was died of kidney disease. After investigate by quality check department, they found there was Melamine added in the milk power.so baby was killed by the milk in which added Melamine. Melamine is an organic compound that is often combined with formaldehyde to produce melamine resin, a synthetic polymer which is fire resistant and heat tolerant. Melamine is a chemical material, which is clearly prohibited as an additive in processing food. The chemical could make the milk appear rich in protein. Putting melamine in Sanlu milk powder is an illegal act.

As China's baby-formula scandal widens, the country's multibillion-dollar dairy industry is reeling. Consumers, wary of domestically produced milk, are flocking to buy foreign formula and other products, and shares of the country's largest dairy companies are plunging.

So far, 22 companies -- including Olympics sponsor Inner Mongolia Yili Industrial Group Co. and Mengniu Dairy Co., which supplies milk to Starbucks Corp. in China -- have been linked to melamine contamination in baby formula. More than 6,200 babies have fallen ill, many with kidney problems that could lead to permanent damage. On Thursday, the state-run Xinhua news agency reported a fourth death connected to the problem.

Farmers say they haven't heard anything about what might happen to their cows or their milk, which many are throwing away because of slumping demand.

The contamination extends beyond formula to liquid milk, authorities have found. Melamine is an industrial compound used in nonfood products. Its addition to milk can make milk appear to contain more protein to help pass quality testing.

Melamine was found in eight of the 30 Yili products sold in Hong Kong. The government has said it will continue its investigations and provide free medical care to victims.

The dairy industry is a competitive and low-margin business. Farmers sell milk to local dealers who in turn sell it to companies like Sanlu. Authorities say it was the dealers who added melamine to the milk.

The affected companies are scrambling. On Thursday, Yili said in a statement that it has set up a hotline for parents, and that it plans to donate several hundred million yuan annually over five to 10 years to help modernize the industry and develop systems to ensure product quality.

Influence Brought by Beijing Olympics to China

The Beijing 29th Olympic Game has been closed for about a week, but I think we Chinese will not forget the wonderful Olympic Game, it was great and successful, the most important thing is Beijing Olympic Game will bring huge and far-reaching impact to Beijing and China.

China has developed these years, but foreigners may not noticed. The changes in Beijing over the past seven years are so fast that if one revisits Beijing after a short while, many appearances from impressions not long ago would have undergone changes due to new constructions and renovations. There are so many new and old landmark buildings that one just loves both the new and old.

Constructions like Bird's Nest, Water Cube, Olympic Park, and the new CCTV building have combined Chinese and western methods. They employed western mechanics and aesthetics, and then fused with spirits and notions of special Chinese flavor. In this way they have created landmarks of greatness and beauty, enticing admiration and praises of those who see it.

To change some traditional habits, Beijing residents study how to be hygiene, ride buses and subways, dine and drink, talk, and other civilized behaviors; in order to be able to communicate with westerners, they study English and western etiquettes etc. These matters seem to be trivial and ordinary, but for Beijing residents, they are actually not simple. This is something that people who have never experienced the process of giving up old habits would not realize.

China has never been touted as a holiday sweet spot, but as the Olympiads and spectators visit, they may find that China is the perfect place for a vacation. The Chinese tourism industry will likely do very well for the few quarters following the Olympic games. If you were to make any play on the Olympic games, the tourism industry is the perfect place to start.

We look forward to this Olympics, just as its slogan "One World, One Dream" would have people looking forward to. This extraordinary meaningful goal will leave peace and security of all humankind a historical testimony and common ideal. It is the glory of China, but more, it is the expectation of the world.

Chinese were respected for Beijing Olympic’s success, we are confident and capable.

China hold a successful Olympic!

Yesterday, the Beijing 29th Olympic Games was over. People all over the world celebrated the wonderful Olympic Games in Bird's Nest.

Some political analysts say Beijing placed too much importance on the Games, and others said the country failed to live up to its promises to open up and undertake political changes that would improve the country’s human rights record. But this afternoon, Jacques Rogge, the president of the International Olympics Committee, which awarded the games to Beijing in 2001, said: “The world has learned about China, and China has learned about the world, and I believe this is something that will have positive effects for the long term.”

They were a triumph of the will for a people and a government determined to show their skill and confidence, as both athletes and organizers, to a world that once treated China as a weak, servile nation.

Olympics closure was so wonderful as it's opening ceremon.The Beijing Olympics came to a dazzling close, ending two weeks of spectacular athletic performances during an Olympic competition that was surprisingly free of protests or the disruptions that some, including Beijing, had anticipated. With Chinese fans chanting “Zhongguo Jiayou!” or “Go China!,” and hundreds of millions of people tuning in everyday by television, some of the biggest audiences in television history, the games served to strengthen pride in the country at a time of rising nationalism.

I think the Beijing Olympic will remembered by people all over the world. It's maybe the nicest menory of someone who won in the Olympic game.It's success will affect the 2012 London Olympic and others from now on.

The Real Olympic Spirit

The 29th Beijing Olympic Game is going to the end. I was deeply affected by some of matches. I think may be this is because of the real Olympic spirit and it’s charm.

Lang Ping, Nicknamed the “Iron Hammer,” is considered by many to be a national hero in China. She was a member of the Chinese Women's National Team—winners of an Olympic gold medal at the 1984 Summer Olympics, a World Championship crown in 1982 and World Cup titles in 1981 and 1985. In 1995, Ping became the head coach of the Chinese national team and eventually guided the squad to the silver medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. In 2005, she signed on to be the head coach of the USA Women’s National Volleyball Team.

On the last Friday night, the 14,000-seat stadium was full packed. The Chinese team and The USA Team crossed swords in volleyball game. Both of them are excellent. In the end, the Chinese Team lost the match. With deafening cheers of "Go China" reverberating around. Although the Chinese team lost the match eventually, the spectators were calm and showed full understanding of the result.

“I am a little bit disappointed for the loss of the Chinese team, but it's okay, because we also love Lang Ping. She is very professional and her love for volleyball is really impressive. She should be credited with the improvement of the U.S. team," said a spectator in his 30s surnamed Ma, who works for an IT company.

I think everyone is the hero if he try his best. Sports has no national boundaries. Let’s cheer for Lang ping, Cheer for Olympic spirit!

Inauguration Ceremony of Beijing 29th Olympic Games

BEIJING, China, Aug 8, The inauguration ceremony of the 29th Olympic Games kicked off at 8 pm, August 8. I have seen the whole process of the great century ceremony, it was pleasantly surprised to me and everybody. Now, I want to share my taste with everyone here.

The Inaugural Ceremony of the Olympiads will offer a mixture of culture, history, symbols as well as an appeal to friendship and solidarity among the people of the world, as expressed by its slogan: One World, One Dream.

The main theme of inauguration ceremony is “One world, one dream”. This is the slogan of Beijing Olympic, and also the expectation of all Chinese and people all over the world. Like the Beijing Olympic songs: ”You and me”. The lyric of the song is simple, and the rhythm also is simple, but is orphean. The lyric is below:

我和你，心连心，同住地球村，为梦想，千里行，相会在北京。
　　 来吧！朋友，伸出你的手，我和你，心连心，永远一家人。
　 　You and Me　From one world We are family
　 　Travel dream
　　 A thousand miles Meeting in Beijing
　　 Come together
　 　Put your hand in mine
You and Me　From one world We are family

At the beginning of inauguration ceremony, there were 2008 actors arraying in the square. They beat the drums which are the most age-old musical instrument. After the drums performance, China ancient civilization history was reappeared by the actors. Such as The Four Great Inventions ( paper making, typography, compass, powder),The Silk Road, The Chinese opera, Chinese Tea Culture, Four Treasures of the study and so on.

Some original idea is applied in this inauguration ceremony. Like the footprints from the Imperial Palace to the Bird Nest. The 29 footprints symbolize the history of Olympic running from Greece to China. Another idea is “letting the pigeon fly”. It is not the real ”pigeon”, but the hands of all people. They make the pigeon shapes and flying action by hands.

The lighting ceremonial is the most important part in inauguration ceremony. Li Ning, the excellent gymnastics athlete is the lighter of Beijing Olympic. He is suspended in mind air, run around the bird nest, and light the Olympic lighting.
