China Plans CCP Branch in Space

The more prescient members at the National Party Congress are evidently thinking far outside the box. Outside the planet, it appears...

China's space communists would "carry out the regular activities of a Communist Party of China branch in space in the way we do on Earth," Yang Liwei, the first Chinese astronaut to fly into space, was quoted by Xinhua as saying on the sidelines of the national party congress. Yang said a party branch would have to await establishment of a permanent presence in space such as a space station, something China is decades from achieving.

[Kudos to Miss Johnson from London. Knightsbridge, perhaps?]
