Xi Jinping to ban U.S. from the Moon? NASA boss warns of China's 'Expansionist'

Published on Jan 03, 2023 04:44 pm IST

NASA Chief Bill Nelson makes explosive claims against "expansionist" China. Not only in the South China Sea, the NASA chief says Beijing could claim ownership of the moon if it wins the new "space race" against the United States. He claims that China could even ban U.S. astronauts from landing on the moon. The warning comes less than a month after three Chinese astronauts returned from a six-month trip in which they helped build and open a new space station. After the return on December 4, General James Dickinson, Commander of U.S. Space Command, also alleged that China is putting American space assets at risk. Notably, China has launched a much more aggressive space programme in the past few years. Watch this report for more.
