Wu Yanhua, a Vice Administrator of the China National Space Administration (CNSA), told reporters at a press conference on December 17, that the Chinese government is willing to work with international institutions and scientists and share the lunar samples and relevant detection data collected by the Chang’e 5 moon probe, which returned to earth this week. However, he emphasized that collaboration with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will depend on whether the United States lifts its ban on bilateral cooperation.
