China Pushing to Build a Launch System on the Moon

CrossroadsET

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is pushing for plans to mine the moon. A new proposal from Chinese scientists is to construct a magnetic launcher that would work as a transport system in order to establish an Earth-moon economy. And if they were to build systems like this, they would also need to establish new infrastructure in other locations. This ties into the broader concerns of the CCP trying to control the so-called cislunar system—the space between Earth and the moon. The issue with the CCP’s ambitions for the moon is not limited to this; it ties into the problem of civil-military fusion. And as all this happens, scientific collaboration between the United States and China is on the decline. One big aspect is that U.S. taxpayers are funding research meant for U.S. innovation, including in defense. However, this research has been ending up in China, including with the Chinese military. We’ll discuss these topics and more in this episode of Crossroads. *Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times. ⭕️ 🇺🇸Josh's Special Offer👉 https://ept.ms/JoshSpeicalOffer ⭕️ Support our fight for the truth👉 https://donorbox.org/crossroads
