After China's Chang'e-6 retrieved lunar soil samples from the far side of the moon, the United States once again broke its defenses, simply because it was not accustomed to China's breakthrough achievements in various fields. Especially this time, it actually embarrassed the United States, and the pride of the United States was hit.
According to a report by the Associated Press on June 30, NASA spokesman Feth Marco said: "Although China has extended invitations to scientists from all over the world to apply for lunar rock samples for research, NASA has not received any direct invitations from China." It can be heard that Marco was very helpless in his remarks when he was interviewed by reporters, and the United States, which was once high above the world, and the United States, which has always been at the forefront of the world in the aerospace field, is very faceless this time.
However, for some people who do not know the truth, they may think that science knows no borders and should not be treated as such. However, the United States has come to this point entirely at its own peril.
In fact, China has been open to inviting countries to participate in lunar exploration and lunar soil research. In particular, in the Chang'e-6 mission, the Chinese space agency has cooperated extensively with the European Space Agency, France, Pakistan, Italy and other countries. The exclusion of the United States is due to the fact that the United States itself has formulated a "Wolf Clause" that excludes China.
As everyone knows, "30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, don't bully young people to be poor", this sentence was quickly fulfilled in the United States.
The U.S. Congress passed the Wolf Amendment in 2011, which specifically restricts NASA's cooperation with China's space authorities. Specifically, without the permission of the FBI and Congress, NASA cannot provide any technical and financial cooperation to China.
The emergence of the Wolf clause has almost completely suspended the cooperation between China and the United States in the field of space. Since then, China has entered a long period of self-reliance and hard work. Huang Tian lived up to his intentions, and finally with the unremitting efforts of mainland scientists, he overcame one difficulty after another, and now we have become one of the world's leading aerospace powers.
Now, we can bring back soil from the surface of the moon, but because of the Wolf clause in the United States, I believe that the US Congress and the FBI will not allow NASA to participate in the research, so why should we be bored and invite the United States to study together?
At the same time, despite the narrow-mindedness of the United States and the West, they continue to impose a blockade on the mainland. However, when it comes to benefiting all mankind and future generations, China's door to openness and cooperation has always been open, provided that the United States takes its own actions to remove obstacles.
As Bian Zhigang, deputy director of the China Space Administration, said, "If the United States really wants to carry out conventional space cooperation, I think the United States should take appropriate measures to remove the obstacles between China and the United States in space cooperation." And this obstacle is the Wolf Clause established by the United States.
At the same time, the Chinese side has also stated that the United States can submit research applications in the seventh round of applications for obtaining lunar soil samples from Chang'e-5, and China has always adhered to the principle of fairness and equality when sharing lunar soil samples. We should not be flattered because the United States is strong, nor should we be hindered by the American-made Wolf Clause.
China's generosity has won positive responses from countries and organizations around the world, and the extreme consciousness of the United States and the Wolf Clause will only hurt the United States itself in the end.
As long as the United States can stop unilaterally restricting China, China-US space cooperation will soon be restarted, which is something that will benefit all mankind.
