The song was a superb use of irony. The US space shuttle program has retired.
Now China launches the space module. Play an American song and all the bashers just jump out and laugh, instead of spreading the China threat theory.
It was intentional. The Americans refused China to join the International Space Station.
China is now doing it by itself by launching its own space station.
They used an American song as a rebuke to the Americans and as a way of mocking the Americans.
