NASA is barred by the US Congress from cooperating with Chinese space activities
Why won't China be nice and cooperate?
Oh my fucking god. I'm actually really excited for the Artemis missions and disagree with CNSA's take that a lunar orbital station would be useless, but this article is cope top to bottom.
The official line appears to be disdain—at least that was the vibe from an article that ran this weekend in a Chinese publication, the Global Times. As part of China's state-run media that serves as propaganda

JUST WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK PBS IS, ERIC? HOW ABOUT THE BBC? AL-JAZEERA? WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW?
It remains to be seen whether China's space program is in line with "scientific principles," as the country's civil and military space are co-mingled within the same government organizations. In the United States, there is a pretty clear demarcation between the civil space agency, NASA, and the recently created US Space Force.

NASA HAS ALWAYS BEEN TIED UP WITH THE US MILITARY ERIC THEY RECRUIT FROM THR FUCKING AIR FORCE HOLY SHIT HOW CAN A PROFESSIONAL EDITOR GET BASIC SHIT LIKE THIS WRONG
No, I mean in arstechnica, specifically. How did it get assigned from editor to writer?
Alright berger, I want you to write what china thinks about usa moon plans?
But it’s not tech?
Damn it, eric, we want to become cnn?
Obviously, but what other people thinks about nasa seems kinda like gossip shit, not tech. It’s like writing articles how,idk, korea thinks latest intel processor sucks ass. Cool, but it doesn’t change neither the processor, nor intel, nor reader.
Probably part of that US Congress anti-China propaganda slush fund, tailored for the new Space Race™ the US maybe wants to gin up so they can get an excuse to start shooting down Chinese satellites or something.
