Chinese Taikonauts Space Walk [Live Video] China in Space [Shenzhou 7 EVA]
Apparently this was faked and filmed in a practice tank.
I'm not sure, but check out those SPACE BUBBLES, especially at 5:49.
Ed: First broadcast live on September 27, 2008.

There's an unnerving anti-Chinese movement lately.
It's all building up to something, mark my word.

They are though, aren't they?
If you asked me to go out right now and scrute a Chinaman, I'd be hard pressed to do so.

Oh, FER GAWDS SAKE
of course it isn't underwater! It must be human nature to watch something amazing and when they encounter the first thing they don't understand to call fake...

A
space walk doesn't seem amazing to me, as we've already walked on the moon, caused nuclear fission etc etc.
It's just because some people think that everything is faked, that's all.

I probably stretched the word amazing a bit here
but spacewalks still rate as pretty flipping special in my books. They never fail to make me feel all weird when your perspective kicks in and you realise that they are "upside down" and ^that's^ our planet up there!

I agree, any human being in space is special. But considering what we've achieved since, it's not really anything unique.
It's only the Chinese showing that they can do anything that the established 'superpowers' can do, in my opinion. Nothing more than show.

Looks fake to me.
The Earth doesn't appear to be moving*, also it has no atmosphere, also, dem bubbles looks like water-bubbles to me.
I know my bubbles.
*It moves, then it doesn't..then it does.
I'm willing to keep an open mind, but it looks faker than Fakir McFakesalot III.

By doesn't appear to be moving
Do you mean that it might be moving really slowly like a speed of 1/24rph?
If scan backwards and forwards on the time line when the earth is in shot you can clearly see that the earth is moving.
Also you may be right about the bubbles being water bubbles, or drops of water as they are more commonly called.

So, to sum up.
It's clearly fake.

Not sure about that
If they filmed it underwater they would have had to have post-processed the video to remove the image distortion. And, if they were going to go that far, they would have removed the "bubbles" too.

If that
was oxygen or air coming out of the guy's helmet, surely it would form as a bubble like in the clip? Due to the vacuum?
I have no expertise in physics so I don't know, but no way was that filmed in a tank.

No.
I mean, what you're watching was filmed in a tank and the background was added via greenscreen.
You know, like in dem movies.
Of course I coould be wrong. It's happened.

It would...
....but I highly doubt that it would be visible, what with it being a non-visible gas.
We only see oxygen bubbles in water because it's a liquid - you therefore have a visible surface tension around a ball of gas.

Those bubles are classified as . . .
Foreign Air Reciprocating Tidbits . . . commonly known as a FART in space . . .

Harder to fake than send people into space
I'd say, to process underwater footage and get it that clean.

I dunno...
...they did it in Doctor Who. And it really does take quite a lot of effort and energy to get somebody into space.

I graduated from SOAS last year with a first class
BA in Chinese Studies* (Modern and Classical) (with Honours, get me!!) and can categorically state the text in the yellow bar at the start of the video reads:
'Filmed in front of a live studio audience'
*might not be true...
