China’s space officials said Thursday they welcomed scientists from across the world to apply to study the lunar rock samples the Chang’e 6 probe brought back to Earth in a historic mission, but noted there were limits to that cooperation, specifically with the U.S.
They should explicitly not give it to the US, since they did it the same
They should make Americans come to China to do the research alongside Chinese scientists.
Let the scientists make public calls for access, look like you’re taking the high road by giving it to them, force some researchers to see China in reality, and hopefully accelerate the brain drain.
I like this idea
