As seen on another site, the CNSA logo [seen here](http://www.cnsa.gov.cn/n615709/cindex.html) looks remarkably similar to [the mission patch of Kirk’s Enterprise](http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/en/images/c/ca/Logo_USS_Enterprise_(NCC-1701).png) wreathed by the same stylized olive branches of [the great seal of the United Federation of Planets](http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/en/images/a/a7/United_Federation_of_Planets_logo.png).

How bizarre.

That explains their slogan, “To Boldly Go Where Man Has Gone Before.”

I feel much better knowing I wasn’t the only one to notice.

Although, I predict the administration will be cancelled after 3 seasons.

But they’ll have a few missions after that - the most successful being codenamed “The Wrath of (Genghis) Kahn”
