Chinese intentionally speeded up the moon mission before India and i do hope Indian Moon Mission with high resolution Remote Sensing will fetch more results than chinese.ISRO should not delay Indian moon mission furthur since so many Asian countries are competing.APRIL 2008 launch may be advanced but not postponed.How about an Indian on Moon.

You could be wrong. China alwats has its arch-enemy Japan more in mind than India. It could be the case in this lunar mission also. China has always Japan's economic success and was finally forced to open up its economy in 1978 to match up. Now it wants to be the leader in all categories of space missions. But one couldn't fail noting that China has made the biggest contribution to militarising space in recent times through its Anti-Satellite Test (ASAT).
