China and Russia today reportedly signed a memorandum of understanding on cooperation in building an international lunar research station. This is considered a lunar base by military fans, but most Chinese netizens are not comfortable with the cooperation with Russia.
Within the framework of the project to build an international lunar research station, Russia and China, using their accumulated experience in space science, development and use of space equipment and space technology, will jointly develop a roadmap for the construction of an international lunar research station and will closely collaborate in the planning, demonstration, design, development, implementation and operation of the project to build an international lunar research station, including project promotion to the international cosmonautics community, the report said.
However, some Chinese military fans said that China’s cooperation with Russia on the CR-929 wide-body airliner and the AHL heavy helicopter have failed to materialize, and it might be more reliable to cooperate with India.
In addition to China, both the United States and Japan have reportedly planned to build bases on the moon.
