"Chinese feel extremely proud in 2008. After fighting the earthquake in Sichuan province, China successfully hosted the Olympic Games," said Cui Naisheng, the head of the federation of overseas Chinese in Germany.

"The successful launch of Shenzhou VII makes overseas Chinese feel proud and indicates that China has entered an advanced level in global space technology," he added.

Li Quanfu, the president of the federation of overseas Chinese business people in Germany, said it was a big step forward for Chinese astronauts to carry out the spacewalk in Chinese-made spacesuits, which marks China's entry into the elite club of world space technology.

"Shenzhou VII and the three astronauts aboard it made overseas Chinese feel proud and excited. We hope that Chinese space technology will reach a more advanced world level, because diplomatic ties are based on the economy and scientific and technological research ability," he added.

Taiwan's Xiao Wangxiaorong said she watched the live broadcast of the spacewalk in the Wangfujing Street during her recent trip to Beijing. She  was very moved while seeing Zhai Zhigang waving the Chinese national flag in space. "I'm excited that China is becoming strong and powerful," she said.

"The moment when the astronaut waved the Chinese national flag made all the Chinese feel proud. It is a great achievement. Although China was hit by the earthquake, the success of the Beijing Olympics and the launch of Shenzhou VII have reaffirmed China's status in the world community," she said.
