I barely survived 6 or 7 Astronaut medicals in China! Got bonuses and quit...
That is also part my concern. I am not an 18 yo cadet.
From my sources, the Chinese medical is way over the top compared to the real world. I havnt heard of Captains dying in flight there, but youd think there are many based on the medicals.
Many of the Chinese pilots are chain smokers, with many smoking in flight. Are the locals subjected to the same medical standards.
