US NASA wants to "know the law and violate the law": If China accepts review, it supports exchanges between the two sides

Ten years ago, the United States created a Wolfe Clause to exclude China from the construction of the International Space Station. The United States’ purpose is to limit the development of China’s aerospace industry, but What surprised the Americans was that China’s aerospace strength and technology are not the same. Under desperate circumstances, China has embarked on a road of independent innovation. Although this road is very difficult and long, when the harvest is good, everything is difficult. The smoke disappeared. From the exploration of the moon by Chang'e-1 to the exploration of Mars by Zhurong-1, to the establishment of China's Tiangong space station, China has proved with facts that we do not need to rely on the technology of other countries. At present, there are only two space stations in the world, the International Space Station and the Tiangong Space Station , and the International Space Station is facing decommissioning, which makes many European and American countries lose face. They are even more worried that no space station will be available in the end.

NASA asked for cooperation, and also made conditions to China. China would not agree to it

, NASA said on July 23rd, NASA Director Nelson The United States is engaged in a "space race" with China. China is "very active" in advancing its space program and has achieved great success in the past few years. After hypocritically speaking, the director's attitude A big change took place and he criticized the Chinese for "cannot tolerate any censorship of their space program" and "they are very rigid." If China is “open enough” to accept US scrutiny, then he will support Sino-US space cooperation. It is even more ironic that Nelson still supported the perpetuation of the Wolfe clause that excluded China from participating in the International Space Station on June 23.

Nelson : The United States deserves to be the first.Supporting the perpetuation of the Wolfe Clause Is the status of the first one?" Walz also listed the recent achievements of China in space. Faced with such questions, Nielsen did not hesitate for a moment and blurted out "the United States should be number one", and Nielsen made the United States the number one in the world. One approach is to ask Congress for money. He believes that only with a large budget can the U.S. aerospace industry develop better. Committee Chairman Bernice Johnson also agrees with Neil Monk’s point of view to increase NASA’s budget and make the U.S. Develop better competition with China.

Now the United States should be anxious. Because the International Space Station is about to be decommissioned, there will be no space station available in the United States by then. The United States has also applied for the right to use the China Tiangong Space Station, but unfortunately it is the technical requirements of the United States. It did not meet China's standards and was therefore turned away. Therefore, the United States is seeking "cooperation" with a superior posture. China has the style of a great power, but why should we accept US censorship for no reason. Obviously, the United States wanted to catch the express train of Chinese aerospace technology, but couldn't put down the body and speak well, so the embarrassing situation of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger appeared.

Is NASA going to "know the law and break the law" again?

The Wolfe clause was created by Republican congressmen who worried that NASA’s cooperation with China would harm the national interests of the United States, and was added to the budget. The clause was proposed by Republican congressman Wolfe. The clause is also called the Wolf clause, which requires the United States not to cooperate with China or institutions with Chinese background. Wolf is very concerned about the nature and goals of China’s space development program.Therefore, Wolf and three other members of Congress strongly oppose any plans for NASA to cooperate with China. Not only that, this clause also prohibits NASA from inviting Chinese officials to visit the United States. It also cancels the interview pass that has been promised to Chinese journalists. Therefore, Chinese journalists It was not possible to attend the press conference held by the space agency like reporters from other countries, nor was it possible to go to the scene to watch the space shuttle take off.

Blocked by the United States, the exchanges between other countries and China in aerospace technology have also stopped. The United States has established legal provisions to prevent damage to the interests of the United States, but now the United States wants to “know the law and violate the law” again. Why does the United States always contradict itself when China is cooperating in space technology? Now the Wolf clause clearly shows its negative impact. Without the existence of the Wolf clause, cooperation between China and the United States would be able to achieve greater success.

Former NASA director Bolden: Wolfe clause should be abolished

Unlike NASA’s current director Nelson Borden’s view, the former director of NASA Wolfen’s view should be abolished. Former NASA Administrator Bolden stated in an interview with China News Weekly that the Wolfe clause restricts NASA’s communication with its peers, and it does no good. He expects Congress to abolish the clause. Because of the Wolf clause, NASA lost technical communication with the Chinese Space Administration. This is undoubtedly a tragedy for scientists, because scientific research has been politicized, and what scientists want to do is explore space instead of becoming Conditions for political confrontation.

Under the constraints of the Wolfe Clause, the United States still stretched out the gibbons. Before that, the United States had asked China for the orbital data of the Mars rover of Tianwen-1 and required China to share data.When China requires the U.S. to provide the U.S. exploration data first, China will transmit the data to the U.S. However, in fact, sharing data to ensure the safety of navigation is a regular cooperation of aerospace agencies. However, due to the existence of the Wolfe Clause, NASA cannot cooperate with the Chinese. Any exchange of space technology with any institution with a Chinese background, sharing data can ensure that there will be no collision between each other’s spacecraft, nor will it interfere with the work of either party, but the existence of the Wolfe clause prevents all of this .

NASA will become one of the breakthroughs in the resumption of Sino-US cooperation

The United States has repeatedly asked China for data on Chang'e and Tian'e, despite the terms of Wolff. It is indeed very concerned about China’s achievements in the space field. According to US media reports, the Biden administration may seek to use NASA as one of the breakthrough points for the resumption of cooperation between China and the United States. Bolden also emphasized that NASA can maintain a competitive and good relationship with the Russian space agency. The relationship of cooperation should also be able to find a viable channel for Sino-US cooperation with Chinese counterparts. Today’s development of the United States in the field of aerospace is not the first in the industry. The United States does not have its own space station. China already has its own space station. If a space station is to be available, the United States must seek cooperation with China. Before cooperation, the United States The Wolfe Clause must be repealed first.

There is not only competition between China and the United States. The United States usually ignores cooperation, and uses competition and a dominant attitude to forget about the win-win effect of cooperation. Now it is the United States. If China’s help is needed, then the United States needs to lay down and send a sincere invitation to China for cooperation. First of all, the United States needs to abolish the Wolfe Clause.
