Nelson, the administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), recently performed a show of speaking out again. He criticized China's space technology development in front of the German media and even threw out "China will occupy the moon." Weird remarks. In response to Nelson's bizarre remarks, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has given a sharp reply.

According to Global Network and other media reports, Nelson described China's normal space technology development as a "military plan" in an interview with German media - the goal may be to "occupy the moon", He also continued to publish The cliché that "Chinese technology is stolen" and accusations that the existence of China's space station is to "destroy other countries' satellites". Nelson's remarks can be described as random and fabricated. As the director of NASA, all he spewed out were politicians' remarks. On July 4, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian stated at a press conference that this is not the first time that relevant US officials have slandered China, and China firmly opposes this.

Zhao Lijian pointed out that the United States’ own space activities are full of dark history. In recent years, the United States has even openly engaged in outer space offensive weapons, accelerated the establishment of a "space force", and passively resisted space negotiations. The United States has also set up barriers to aerospace cooperation and obstructed Sino-US aerospace technology cooperation and exchanges. In this regard, the international community It has already been seen clearly. Zhao Lijian reiterated China's concept of peaceful use of outer space and urged the United States to stop negative remarks, take responsibility, review itself, and make its due contribution to maintaining sustained peace and security in outer space.

According to previous media reports, NASA Administrator Nelson has repeatedly attacked China's space technology development. For example, he once fabricated rumors that China "stealed" U.S. space technology, and once accused China of "not taking the initiative to engage in space exploration with the United States." cooperate".

However, Nelson is originally a politician. He has worked in the U.S. Senate for 18 years. Wouldn’t he know that the “ Wolf Clause ” enacted by the US Congress in 2011 is exactly this clause? , causing NASA to be unable to have normal contact with its Chinese counterparts. The United States itself is the initiator of the problem. If Nelson wants to criticize the United States, shouldn't he criticize the United States itself?
In fact, Nelson made the above-mentioned weird remarks for many reasons. As the director of NASA, he did not expect that China's space technology development in recent years has been so efficient. China and Russia are even preparing to cooperate in manned moon landing. Eat The United States, which does not have the benefit, is naturally full of bad news. Nelson is now worried that the United States' "Artemis" moon landing plan will be overtaken, so he is throwing dirty water. Another purpose of his mudslinging is to force Congress to increase funding. After all, as a veteran politician in Congress, the 79-year-old Nelson knows the "rules of the game" too well.

Therefore, Nelson's remarks clearly show that the United States is petty and hysterical. It also shows that the United States' own space program is trapped in political infighting and its efficiency has been greatly reduced. The random fabrications of Nelsons can no longer deceive the world. The whole world knows that while China is developing peacefully, the United States is causing trouble.
