The Foreign Ministry representative has blamed NASA's head for an 'untrustworthy smear'
Beijing has dismissed claims by the US space boss that China may be considering a takeover of the Moon as a feature of its tactical space program, and blamed Washington for trying to transform space into a "warfighting area."
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson told German paper Bild in a meeting distributed on Saturday that the world unquestionable requirement "should be exceptionally worried" about China possibly "arriving on the moon and saying: 'It's our own now and you stay out.'"
Chinese Foreign Ministry representative Zhao Lijian answered the allegations on Monday, saying this is "not the initial occasion when the top of the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration has overlooked current realities and spoken untrustworthily about China."
"The US side has continually developed a slanderous attack against China's typical and sensible space tries, and China solidly goes against such untrustworthy comments," he added, guaranteeing that China has consistently remained against weaponization and advances the common eventual fate of mankind in space.
When requested to explain what military purposes China could be chasing after in space, Nelson said Chinese space travelers are figuring out how to obliterate other nations' satellites, and guaranteed that the opposition for the south pole of the Moon will be particularly serious. He likewise expressed that by 2035, Beijing could complete development of its own Moon station and begin tries a year after the fact.

The 79-year-old NASA boss has for quite some time been a pundit of China's aggressive space program, notwithstanding Beijing's confirmations that it has simply tranquil purposes. In April, he blamed Beijing for declining to work with the US and covering significant information, despite the fact that the 2011 Wolf Amendment restricts NASA from direct participation with Chinese researchers without legislative approval.
While shielding China's space program, Zhao guaranteed the US has its own "grimy record" of making space garbage, creating hostile space weapons, and prompting space arms races by straightforwardly pronouncing space as an "functional wilderness" and a "warfighting space."
