China Announces Successful Launch Of Astronauts,  3 Hours Before The Launch, Complete With Astronaut Chatter And Ground Crew Going Wild
Because it worked so well for them during the Olympics with fake fireworks, fake ethnic children, a fake cute singing child and more recently with fake milk

China's leading Xinhua news agency reported the successful launch of the Shenzhou, fool you, VII.   The report came with astronaut chatter, gave detailed moment to moment tracking over the Pacific Ocean,  included technicians staring at the launch screens, and was window dressed with clapping, cheering, and everything else you've seen before in science fiction films.

Trouble is it was announced hours before the launch happened.

China would only explain it as a "technical problem."

Watch for China's announcement tomorrow that the problem was traced back to the time machine they invented next month.
