China Has Landed On Mars
Congratulations to CNSA’s #Tianwen1 team for the successful landing of China’s first Mars exploration rover, #Zhurong! Together with the global science community, I look forward to the important contributions this mission will make to humanity’s understanding of the Red Planet. pic.twitter.com/KexElIu8OH

It landed a rover no less.
Too bad they’re not wise enough to share the excitement with rest of the world as it happens.
They probably remember the live epic fails of Great Britain’s Beagle 2 and ESA’s Schiaparelli.
