The lunar plans of China and Russia

The Sino-Russian alliance in space should come as no surprise. Italics by Giuseppe Gagliano

As has been repeatedly stated , neo-colonialism by the United States, China and Russia on the lunar soil is increasingly taking shape, as the recent news clearly indicates that a research group from China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation is conducting experiments extracting oxygen to support China's plan to build a research station there.

THE CHINESE LUNAR EXPLORATION PROGRAM

China's lunar exploration program, named after the mythical moon goddess Chang'e, is part of Beijing's ambition to take the lead in a new international space race.

THE CHINA-RUSSIA ALLIANCE

Therefore, it should not cause any surprise, as on the one hand, precisely in this context (as in other contexts, for example in the Arctic sector) the Sino-Russian alliance finds the opportunity to consolidate further, and on the other hand how this synergy makes competition with the US and the EU ever more intense.
