China quietly tested its first inflatable space module in orbit China tested out a small expandable module in orbit during the recent Shijian-19 mission, an update more than a month after the spacecraft’s landing reveals.
A relative worked in construction in China for a few years.
At one time, an undergoing project was almost finished and, being a westerner, my relative was expecting to see politicians arrive with the usual fanfare, inaugurate the shit out of everything, have the entire media circus around, etc.
Well, nothing happened.
Higher ups were informed, the work was finished, deemed ready for use. A few workers, out of their own volition, set off some fireworks to celebrate a work well done, cleaned everything after and went home.

I agree. Can I quote you the next time some two-cents politian insists in inauguring the smallest of public work?
