China donates lunar samples to Russia and France to promote sharing of scientific achievements​


April 24, 2023 by admin


IT House On April 24th, IT House learned from the official website of the National Space Administration that just at the launching ceremony of the 2023 “China Space Day” home event, the China National Space Administration Announced that China has donated lunar samples to Russia and France.

In April this year, during French President Macron’s visit to China, China presented France with 1.5 grams of lunar samples for scientific use. On February 4, 2022, when Russian President Vladimir Putin visited China, China presented Russia with 1.5 grams of lunar samples for scientific use. In March 2023, during Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Russia, Russia will give China 1.5 grams of lunar samples for scientific use in return.

The lunar samples presented by China to France and Russia are derived from the drilled samples and tables obtained by China’s Chang’e-5 mission from the spaceship base in the northeast of the Moon’s frontal Ocean of Storms in December 2020 Take a sample. The lunar samples that Russia gave back to China came from the samples drilled by the Soviet Luna-16 mission in 1970.

In December 2020, the China National Space Administration issued the “Measures for the Administration of Lunar Samples”, encourages research on lunar samples and promotes the sharing of scientific results. So far, scientists from Australia, Russia, France, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Sweden have participated in the scientific research of Chinese lunar samples.

The National Space Administration stated that the international sharing and joint research of lunar samples is a major event in the international scientific community. It is an important way to study scientific issues such as the formation and evolution of the moon. A major scientific effort to explore the unknown. China has always adhered to the principles of peaceful use, equality and mutual benefit, and carried out space exchanges and cooperation with countries around the world to jointly promote the building of a community of shared future for mankind in the field of outer space.



 
China is really generous to France.
 
Giving anything to France is kind of dumb idea of China.. France is a US state or property pretty much..

It is like saying we aren't giving it to the US but we are still giving it to them and kind of counter-productive..

Paris and all of France is an American property..

Since they have liberated these territories in WW2 the European continent still belongs to the US except for the territories that were previously soviet union but many of these even Ex-soviet union countries in the Europe has fallen into their hands and I mean the 3 baltics, Poland, Czech Rep, Slovakia, East Germany, Bulgaria, Romania these were currently held by Russian called the eastern bloc but now shifted to the US

France can act as balance at UNSC. UK and US on one side. China and Russia on the other side. France as balance.

Not surprised as China, North Korea, Iran, Iraq, and Cuba were on the list of countries not getting any of the 382kg of Apollo moon rocks.

The Soviets got some..almost 300 grams...just to show them we are nice.

LOL! You guys are real pals.

Actually, US gave 1 g of Apollo moon rocks to China in 1970s.

China doesn't have much of the rocks, only about 1700 g in total.

Now, Macron is putting France some distance from US in dealing with China since he visited China a few weeks ago, but, I don't know how long can Macron keep up with his aspiration for greater EU independence from US.

Not true, France is pretty much the only country in west which sometime speaks against US. The AUKUS deal has significantly eroded good will between France and US. Not to mention Macron keeps talking about independent foreign policy of EU. France also departed from NATO in past. France is not equivalent to UK/Australia when it comes to licking US.

France is pretty much pissed with US, due to getting screwed up by them in the Australian submarine deal.

Besides, the way US got Europe to restrict Russian oil buying, has also messed up their power bills.

Other than the above, yes France has always tried to have some strategic autonomy inspite of being in the NATO camp.
