1 | China: The Cost of Space Ambition | Shina: Ny Sandan'ny Fitetezana Habakabaka |
2 | China's launch last week of the Tiangong-1 inhabitable space station signals a shift in the space race, one everyone should be worried about. | Kihondalana amin'ny hazakazaka hitety habakabaka indray ny fandefasan'i Shina tamin'ny herinandro lasa ny Tiangong-1 tobin-danitra azo onenana, iray amin'izay tokony atahoran'ny rehetra. |
3 | Especially the USA's allies in Asia, right? | Indrindra fa ny Aziatika mpiara-dia amin'i Etazonia, mazava? |
4 | Among those who would disagree is Jiang Feng, editor-in-chief of the Japan-based Chinese-language newspaper New-generation Overseas Chinese; in a blog post [zh] earlier this week in which he looks at how Japanese media covered the news of the launch, Jiang attributes a large part of the motivation behind China's space program to the simple fact that China happens to have more money than most countries right now to keep funding space exploration. | Iray amin'ireo tsy mitovy hevitra amin'izany filazana izany i Jiang Feng, tonia lehiben'i gazety miteny shinoa any Japana Taranaka-Shinoa-Vaovao Ampitan-dranomasina; ao amin'ny lahatsoratra iray tamin'ny bolongana [zh] tamin'ny fiandohan'ny herinandro no nijereny ny fomba nitateran'ny fampitam-baovao Japoney ny fandefasana [ny zanabolana] , napetrak'i Jiang fa ny tena nandrisika an'i Shina tamin'ity resaka habakabaka ity dia ny fahitana tsotra fa manambola noho ny ankamaroan'ny firenena hafa izy ahafahany mitety [mitrandraka] ny habakabaka. |

7 | Jiang also argues that space exploration benefits all humankind, even contrasting the kind of Chinese engineering that led to the train collision in July with Japan's superiority in robotics and other areas of critical space travel technology. | Nandresy lahatra ihany koa i Jiang fa ho amin'ny tombontsoan'ny olombelona rehetra ny fitetezana ny habakabaka, na natao hampifanandrina ny karazana engineering [fahaiza-manao] Shinoa nahatonfa ny fifandonan'ny fiaran-dalamby tamin'ny volana jolay amin'ny fahambonian'i Japan eo amin'ny robotika sy ny sehatry ny teknolojian'i fitetezana habakabaka. |
8 | He writes: | Hoy ny nosoratany: |
9 | Right now, we find that Western media remain doubtful [about our intentions in space], even after emphasis from official media that “China will not change its stance regarding peaceful uses of outer space just because it now has its own space station.” | Amin'izao fotoana izao dia hitantsika ny fisalasalan'ny fampitam-baovao tandrefana [momba ny fikasantsika amin'ny habakabaka], eny fa na dia asongadin'i gazetim-panjakana aza fa “tsy hanova ny heviny mikasika ny fampiasana ny habakabaka ho amin'ny fandriampahalemana satria manko manana tobin-danitra manokana [i Shina].” |
10 | Put another way, China's remarkable achievements in the field of space exploration have left the United States, Russia and other countries with presence in outer space feeling some heat. | Raha tenenina amin'ny fomba hafa, nampafana ratsy an'i Etazonia, Rosia ary ny firenena hafa nanoloana ny zavabitan'i Shina eo amin'ny sehatry ny fitetezana ny Habakabaka. |
11 | The country feeling the most pressure is none other that China's neighbor, Japan. | Fa ny firenena tena mahatsapa ho poritra indrindra dia tsy iza fa ilay mpifanolo-bodirindrina amin'i Shina: Japana. |
12 | The news of China's successful launch of Heavenly Palace 1 has been reported on by all mainstream Japanese media. | Notaterin'ny fampitam-baovao Japoney malaza rehetra ny fahombiazan'i Shina nandefa ny Lapan-Danitra 1. |
13 | Looking closely at these reports, we see that The Daily Yomiuri's focus has been that China deliberately chose to launch the space station on the eve of National Day to inspire people and raise a sense of prestige for the country; The Mainichi Daily News' focus was that of all the countries now with their own space station, nearly all these reached that stage through cooperation with other nations, and China is the first country to date to achieve this through its own efforts, through “its own technology”; The Tokyo Shimbun pointed out that China is now on the path toward becoming a “great space power”; Sankei Shimbun, meanwhile, focused its reports on the name of the launch center and the “fight” between Inner Mongolia and Gansu province to claim it as located within each of their borders; The Asahi Shimbun's take is that China is now catching up to earlier advancements in the space exploration field from the United States and Russia, and has now made a breakthrough of its own. | Raha jerena akaiky ireny fampitam-baovao ireny, hitantsika ny fifantohan'ny Daily Yomiuri tamin'ny nandefasan'i Shina ny toby an-habakabaka mialoha indrindra ny Fetim-Pirenena hananan'ny olona aingam-panahy sy hananan'ny firenena rehareha; Ny Mainichi Daily News kosa nifantoka tamin'ny filazana fa manana ny toby an-habakabaka manokana avokoa ny firenen-drehetra, saika ny ankamaroany dia nahatratra izany dingana izany tamin'ny fiaraha-miasa tamin'ny firenen-kafa, fa i Shina kosa no firenena nahatontosa izany tamin'ny ezaka manokana nataony, tamin'ny alalan'ny “haitaony manokana”; Navoitran'ny The Tokyo Shimbun fa an-dalan'ny ho “fahefana an-habakabaka goavana” i Shina; Sankei Shimbun, mandritra izany fotoana izany mitatitra ny anaran'ny foibe fandefasana sy ny “ady” eo amin'ny Mongolia anatiny sy ny faritanin'i Gansu milaza fa tao anatin'ny sisintaniny no toerana nandefasana ny sambondanitra; Noraisin'ny Asahi Shimbun kosa ny filazana fa miezaka ny manatratra ny tombondalana azon'i Etazonia sy Rosia eo amin'ny sehatry ny fitetezana habakabaka i Shina, ary andalam-pisongonana ny hafa [fisosososoana] amin'ny fombany. |
14 | Reports from The Nikkei, however, have been the most encouraging, as not only was the story put on the front page, but an in-depth report was also run on pg. 14. The analysis was stunning, pointing out on one hand that Japanese and Western media suspect that “China is now attempting to establish hegemony in space,” while at the same time suspecting that China possibly intends to use outer space for its own military purposes in the future. | Mampahery kosa amin'ny ankapobe ny tatitra avy amin'ny Nikkei, izay tsy nametraka ny tantara eo amin'ny voalohan'ny pejy ihany, fa eo amin'ny halalin'ny fitantarana hita ao amin'ny pejy faha-14. Nampiaiky volana ny fanadihadiana, manavoitra etsy andaniny ny ahiahin'ny gazety Japoney sy Tandrefana milaza fa “Mitady hanjakazaka eny an-habakabaka i Shina ankehitriny” nefa mandritra izany fotoana izany miahiahy fandrao mampiasa ny habakabaka amin'ny sehatra ara-tafika i Shina rahatrizay. |
15 | It wrote of how some media have helplessly pointed out that China is the only nation on earth now which is capable of concentrating its national budget on strategic investments, that the varying degrees of economic crisis in western developed nations have left them unable to do the same, while development of China's inhabitable space station was led by the People's Liberation Army. | Voasoratra ao ihany koa ny fampisongadinan'ny fampitam-baovao fa i Shina irery no firenena mahafantoka ny tetibolam-pireneny amin'ny fampiasam-bola ara-stratejika, fa ny ambaratonga samihafa mitranga any amin'ny firenena tandrefana no tsy ahafahan'ireo voatonona farany mahavita tahaka izany, nefa ny fampivelaran'i Shina toby an-habakabaka azo onenana dia tarihin'ny Tafi-Panafaham-Bahoaka. |
16 | It must be clear why Japanese media have chosen to report this news as they have. | Mazava ankehitriny hoe nahoana ny fampahalalam-baovao Japoney no nifidy ny hamoaka ity vaovao ity. |
17 | In the field of space exploration, Japan has always been behind China. | Eo amin'ny sehatry ny fitetezana ny habakabaka, tratra aorian'i Shina hatrany i Japana. |
18 | Even today, not only have the people of Japan yet to come to a consensus regarding the nation's space program, but even the Japan the state itself has failed to make it an issue of key strategic importance. | Na dia amin'izao fotoana izao aza, tsy vitan'ny hoe mifanara-kevitra ny mponin'i Japana raha eo amin'ny fandaharan'asan'ny firenena amin'ny sehatry ny habakabaka, fa na dia i Japana ilay fanjakana aza nanadino ity lohahevitra ity ho manana ny lanjany ara-stratejia. |
19 | This, perhaps, is the reason why Japan's current prime minister, Yoshihiko Noda, recently went before legislators in Japan to press for a “Basic Law” for the universe, saying that it could serve as the beginning of a major “hundred-year” plan for Japan. | Izay, angamba, ny antony nahatonga ny praiminisitra, Yoshihiko Noda, nankany amin'ny mpanao lalàna tany Japana vao haingana teo hanonta“Lalàna Fototra” ho an'ny Oniversa, milaza fa io no mety ho fanombohan'ny drafitra “zato-taona” ho an'i Japana. |
20 | Given the current economic slump, however, and the ongoing recovery from the earthquake disaster, if Japan decides that it wants to use state funding to build its own manned space station, that's not going to be an easy mission at all. | Raha jerena anefa ny fikorosofahan'ny toekarena sy ny fanarenana vokatry ny fihovotrovotry ny tany, raha manapa-kevitra ny hampiasa vola avy amin'ny fitondrana i Japan hananganana toby an-habakabaka azo onenana, dia tsy ho mora velively ny fanatanterahana izany. |
