The U.S. stance on China is that it will not relax its suppression and containment, and will not hesitate to make China feel bad at the expense of its own interests. But while suppressing containment, if the United States feels that it is profitable, it will lick its face and hope to benefit from China.
Recently, according to the Observer, NASA has been revealed to have submitted an application and certificate to the U.S. Congress, hoping that Congress will approve its funded researchers to apply to China to borrow lunar soil samples, because the lunar soil collected by China has a unique value.
In 2011, the U.S. adopted the Wolf Clause, which prohibits any joint scientific research activities between the two countries related to NASA or coordinated by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, prohibits all NASA facilities from receiving official Chinese visitors, and prohibits NASA from cooperating with institutions with Chinese backgrounds. The United States personally built a high wall, but the result did not stop China's space development. In addition, due to the Wolf Clause, NASA had to go through a series of complicated procedures and audits in order to cooperate with China, which makes people wonder, the United States is digging a hole for itself, right?The United States originally wanted to use the Wolf clause to stumble on China, but it did not expect to put shackles on itself.
Having said that, in October this year, Chinese lunar soil samples were opened to the international community for loan research applications, and the deadline is December 22. If NASA is approved by Congress, will China allow the U.S. to apply for a loan of lunar soil samples?
Wu Yanhua, deputy director of the China National Space Administration, once said that outer space resources are the common wealth of mankind, and China is willing to share lunar samples and related data with like-minded institutions and scientists in the world.
It is appropriate to say something bright on the surface, this is to establish a good national image, but based on reality, China has spent a lot of money to complete the "Chang'e-5" program, and lunar soil can be said to be a priceless treasure. With so much money and effort invested, it is impossible for China to share lunar soil with other countries without any return. Therefore, if NASA is willing to exchange benefits with China, such as NASA sharing research results with China, China may be willing to share lunar soil with NASA.
In 1978, in order to promote the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States as soon as possible, the United States donated China 1 gram of lunar soil. Chinese scientists make use of 05 grams of samples, 14 scientific articles were published, and finally we knew what kind of stone and what structure of lunar soil was. NASA Director Nelson has mentioned this matter many times, saying that the United States has given lunar soil to China, and China should reciprocate the gift.
Although Sino-US relations are still very tense at present, after the meeting between the Chinese and US heads of state, the US side lifted the sanctions on the appraisal center of the Ministry of Public Security of China, which can be regarded as a small sincerity to improve relations with China. China can strike while the iron is hot and take the NASA's application to borrow lunar soil samples as an opportunity to jointly revisit the original intention of establishing diplomatic relations between China and the United States, and further promote the warming of China-US relations.
