Stefan Landsberger has a fabulous collection of Chinese propaganda posters from 1949 onwards. Not only are there tons of pictures, but the accompanying historical commentary makes it educational as well. Spans both Nationalist and Communist sides, for those of you who might care.
The image shown here is an example from the “Space Propaganda” poster section. They’re “earlier artists’ impressions of Chinese space travel”.

It is such a good picture. Mao is an uneducated farmer. From Mao’s perspective, science is just one of his political tools to control his own people.
