According to Xinhua News Agency, at 1:16 a.m. Beijing time on November 8, the Shenzhou 13 astronaut crew successfully completed all the scheduled tasks of the outgoing activities, and the astronauts Zhai Zhigang and Wang Yaping returned safely to the tianhe core module, and the outgoing activities were a complete success. Among them, Wang Yaping became the first woman in China to perform a spacewalk.
For this spacewalk, not only caused many netizens to discuss in China, many major foreign media have also carried out relevant reports on it, according to the observation of Jimu news reporters, the vast majority of media reports focus on Wang Yaping, most of them use headlines like "Wang Yaping became the first Chinese woman to complete the spacewalk".
Cnn praises but talks about gender
Chinese astronaut Wang Yaping made history on Sunday as the first woman in the country to perform a spacewalk.

CNN quoted the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) as describing the completion of the spacewalk mission by the two astronauts, highlighting Wang Yaping's condition: "Shortly after stepping out of the space station's cabin, Wang waved to viewers on Earth in a video released by the Flight Control Center saying she felt good, and the video has since gone viral on Chinese social media. ”
CNN also introduced that "Ms. Wang is the second woman in China to enter space after Liu Yang, who joined the Shenzhou 9 spacecraft in 2012" "Before Wang, only 15 women in the world had performed spacewalks. To date, the vast majority of female spacewalkers are NASA astronauts in the United States."
However, cnn still habitually wants to do things in addition to praise, this time from the perspective of gender, they suspect that the Chinese media deliberately emphasize gender in the report, creating a stereotype of the difference between men and women to the public.
"Despite the praise for Wang from [Chinese] official channels and state media, most of the reports also contain very gendered language, making the stereotype of the difference between men and women more solidified," CNN said. ”
To prove its point, it cites a Global Times report that female astronauts have the advantage of "gentle personality and conducive to teamwork"; saying that female astronauts are "more mentally stable" and "more sensitive to any problems in their surroundings" and are better at communicating than male astronauts.
The report was originally a picture reflecting the daily life of female astronauts, and was also pointed out by CNN as a "special courier" for female astronauts. The pictures include cosmetics, desserts, chocolates and hygiene products.
The Indian media is a little sour about the Tiangong space station
For China's first female spacewalk incident, the vast majority of foreign media have made objective reports, such as the Associated Press, Al Jazeera, India Express, Singapore's Asia News Station and other media introduced the entire spacewalk process, saying that Wang Yaping is the first Chinese woman to complete the spacewalk, and explain the significance of China's Tiangong space station.

However, in addition to reporting on the spacewalk, the Hindu newspaper also expressed its concern about the Tiangong space station: "China's space station is also equipped with a mechanical arm, and the United States is concerned about its possible military application." The arm, which can stretch up to 15 meters, will also play a vital role in the construction of the orbital space station. Once ready, China will be the only country to own the space station – the aging International Space Station (ISS) is now a cooperative project of several countries, and its useful life will soon expire. ”
