What are China's plans for deep space exploration … and beyond?
The US Senate has approved an extra US$10 billion for Nasa's Artemis moon exploration programme, giving a major boost to contractors such as Boeing. While many see it as a domestic win over newer space players including SpaceX , it also signals the Trump administration's determination to stay ahead of China in an intensifying space race. Here we look at how China is expanding its deep-space ambitions , from putting astronauts on the moon to returning rocks from Mars, and how it is posing the most serious challenge to US space leadership in 60 years. Will the next words spoken on the moon be in Mandarin? Possibly. China aims to land two astronauts on the moon before 2030, with all major hardware now in prototype development and large-scale testing. The Chinese programme's Mengzhou crew capsule passed a critical safety test just last month, and the Long March-10 moon rocket could make its maiden flight as early as next year. China is also developing the Lanyue lunar lander and the Wangyu spacesuit, both undergoing trials. Nasa still leads on paper, with Artemis III targeting a crewed landing no earlier than 2027. But the mission faces big technical hurdles. In particular, its massive lunar lander – a modified SpaceX Starship – requires in-orbit refuelling, something that has not been done before.

China's Wang Yi says deeper US exchanges on the cards after talks with Rubio
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said the sit-down with his American counterpart Marco Rubio in Kuala Lumpur on Friday had set the stage for deeper exchanges. Speaking to Chinese media on Saturday, Wang said the talks had helped to manage US-China differences as the rival powers seek to manage tensions amid rising trade frictions. Both sides recognised that they represented the most important bilateral relationship in the world, with an impact beyond their respective borders, he added. 'The meeting was constructive, with both sides engaging in equal dialogue in the spirit of mutual respect,' Wang said, according to a statement from his ministry. 'I believe that it has enhanced the US' understanding of China and paved the way for the next step of exchanges between the two countries' diplomatic teams.' The statement said Wang spoke to the Chinese press after attending the Asean and East Asia-related meetings in the Malaysian capital but did not say where the interaction took place. Friday's talks, Wang added, could be summarised as having strengthened engagement, prevented misjudgments, managed differences, and expanded cooperation between the two countries.
