What I find very exciting and something that is totally lacking from any news articles and discussions I have seen outside space-geek circles is that China is actually very much open to cooperate with other agencies. The China Russia plan of a base on the moon is open to partners whom would like to join: International Lunar Research Station.

- officialjunk 5y agoTaiwan is part of China.
- bilbo0s 5y agoChina and Russia don't consider Taiwan a nation. We do. But they don't. It'd be like the US saying that Ambazonia or Palestine can participate in the ISS program. I'm sure the we'd happily let any other African nation participate for instance, but we don't recognize Ambazonia. And we consider it irrelevant that anyone else does. Needless to say, participation under a Palestinian flag would be a non starter. I'm almost positive China would have the same sort of policy.
- Dah00n 5y agoNo, the US do not recognise ROC/Taiwan as a nation. Only these countries recognise Taiwan as an independent country: Belize, Guatemala, Haiti, Holy See, Honduras, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Nicaragua, Palau, Paraguay, St Lucia, St Kitts and Nevis, St Vincent, Grenadines, Swaziland, Tuvalu.
- Dah00n 5y agoTaiwan is officially part of PRC unless you are one of these countries: Belize, Guatemala, Haiti, Holy See, Honduras, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Nicaragua, Palau, Paraguay, St Lucia, St Kitts and Nevis, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Swaziland and Tuvalu. So yes, Taiwan is part of the program.
- intricatedetail 5y agoThey are open as this is a obvious honey pot to spy and copy other countries technologies without spending money on R&D.
- leke 5y agoI would be impressed if they take the initiative and do it.
- Dah00n 5y agoBuilding a base on the moon? It's part of the program they have already set in motion so I don't see them not doing so. Exciting times.
