China’s foreign ministry has said that it is open to space cooperation with all countries including the United States. This statement follows congratulations from U.S. space agency NASA on China‘s Chang’e-6 mission to the far side of the moon.
Mao Ning, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson, clarified at a regular news conference that the United States needs to remove obstacles for further cooperation.
China is currently banned by U.S. law from any collaboration with NASA, directly or indirectly.
