Quote'America the Beautiful' accompanies China rocket launch

China's state TV accompanied coverage of the historic launch of the country's first space laboratory with a patriotic US song, America the Beautiful.

The song is regarded by many as an unofficial national anthem for the US, and features the line: "America! America! God shed his grace on thee."

Some Chinese people say that CCTV must have made a mistake with the music. The broadcaster has not commented.

Millions watched the take-off of Tiangong-1 on Thursday.

Viewers of CCTV were treated to a minute-long animation set to the American song.

The video features only the music from the song and not the lyrics.

"At the time, I was eating in a hotel with foreigners from an American company and Chinese clients and we were watching the live broadcast," posted one user on Sina Weibo, China's equivalent of Twitter.

"All the Chinese there wanted to disappear."

The song was composed by a New York church organist in 1882, and has long been a favourite of US patriots.

It has been proposed as a replacement for Star-Spangled Banner as the US national anthem.

Makes up for them playing that one nationalist song at the White House banquet earlier this year.
Sucks that the poor guy in charge is going to get a 9mm retirement though. :(

Plenty more where he came from.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

And now Ed knows why he saved that image on his computer several months ago.  It was for this exact moment in time.

Well, it makes sense, doesn't it?  I mean, all of their space technology was stolen from the US, right?
