Yeah exactly what's the fuss about this anyway. The technology has been developed by others, 40 years ago, so China now gets a fairly safe and cheap ride with copied machinery.

Would you mind telling us what copied machinery the Chinese are using besides a Russian spacesuit?

The "fuss" as you call it is the admiration that the Chinese are taking their first steps into space exploration. It is a pretty cool thing and very good for the prestige of the Chinese people.
