The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will criticize NASA Director of NASA negative speech

On July 7, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian presided over a regular press conference.

Some reporters asked that the National Aerospace Administration Director Nielsen said on the 5th that the Chinese space project was operated by the army, while the American space department was conducting peaceful, open and international civilian projects. What is China's comment?

In this regard, Zhao Lijian said that the US official's remarks were completely black and white, confusing right and wrong. The United States is the main promoter of exterior weaponization and battlefieldization. It has long pursued the leading -led air strategy, vigorously developed and deployed aircraft weapons, and frequently held an air -to -air military exercise.

Zhao Lijian mentioned that the National Aeronautics Aerospace Agency (NASA) was unable to know the relationship with its military. In September 2020, the bureau signed a memorandum of understanding with the American Space Army. There are many military personnel in the bureau, and Director Nielsen himself has served in the army. The so -called international cooperation in the United States is completely optional, and even the unreasonable sanctions of the bill to suppress other foreign air agencies.

Zhao Lijian also said that China has always adhered to the use of space peacefully and actively promoted international cooperation in space. Since the implementation of the manned aerospace project, China has always adhered to the principles of peaceful use, equality and mutual benefit, and common development, and signed cooperation agreements with multiple international aerospace institutions and organizations to achieve fruitful results. For example, China and Brazil carry out resource satellite cooperation, which is a model for South -South cooperation in the aerospace field; China promotes the establishment of a BRICS country's remote sensing satellite constellation, sharing remote sensing data, and helps the economic and social development of the BRICS countries; Saudi Arabia, the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden and other countries scientific detection international loads and jointly carried out scientific research.

In the end, Zhao Lijian emphasized that the United States should stop ignoring the facts, discredit China, carefully examine his negative words and deeds in the field of air, and effectively assume the responsibility of great powers, and do more conducive to Sino -US aerospace cooperation.
