From the comments:

China is advancing the space frontier and embedding a culture of innovation that will have a tremendous impact on tomorrow. School kids and everyday Chinese will look up into the sky and feel proud. School kids will have a bigger dream thanks to this. You ask them what they want to be and they will say astronaut. Advancing the space frontier is not just an exercise to entertain the space nerds but actually birthing whole new industries that drive a nations wealth. new technologies will be invented and new awards given. Different ways to solve problems will also arise from advancing the space frontier. The metaphoric tomorrow is achieved by doing it today.
