Chinese Newspaper Says US Moon Militarization Plans Threaten Humanity
A Chinese publication cited by Russian news agency TASS argues that Earth's bloc rivalries are being extended to the Moon.
A Chinese newspaper has accused the United States of attempting to militarize the Moon, warning that such efforts pose a threat to humanity, according to a report published by the Russian news agency TASS.
TASS, citing the report, said the newspaper described the situation as a repetition of an "old script" of bloc-based confrontation that has long characterized geopolitics on Earth, now being extended to the lunar environment.
The report did not provide further details on the specific US actions or programs referenced, nor did it name the Chinese publication directly in the excerpt made available.
TASS did not include a response from US officials or independent verification of the claims in the portion of the report reviewed.
The characterization reflects broader tensions between China and the United States over space policy, as both countries pursue competing lunar exploration programs in the coming years.
