Connecting Nerdish Dots in Star Trek

Noting that Netflix isn't doing business inside mainland China, but they are offering their services in Traditional and Simplified Chinese langages anyway in assorted other markets.

Also noting that Star Trek: Discovery is being carried outside of the US and Canada by Netflix.

One of the supporting cast ships in the new series is USS Shenzhou NCC-1227.

Wondering if the dedication plaque will credit the Dalian Yards in mainland China for that starship. Dalian is where mainland China's first aircraft carrier, the Liaonang, was refitted to their navy's requirements.

I just finished watching the 2nd trailer for the new series (which they premiered at SDCC). I am quite excited for it, but annoyed that it won't be on Netflix in Canada. Means I will have to torrent it as I don't have Space as part of my cable package. The only thing I found somewhat off in the trailer was the use of music with lyrics. Just seemed really out of place and too contemporary. Hope those tracks aren't actually in the show and just something they used for the trailer.

1. I'm counting myself lucky to have access to Space Channel, given the weirdness of the distribtion process for the new series across the rest of the planet.

2. No idea yet about the music.
