Yep. Its not funny but its not racist.

Hmm unless its trying to say the chinese are incapable of creating a functioning lunar lander as we western people have, due to their race.

I'm pretty sure that's not it, its just playing to a stereotype, albeit a fairly benign one.
Chinese use chopsticks is the equivalent of saying English drink beer or eat roasts isn't it?
