Coop Good – Space Science (2/2)US-China cooperation would solve for funding, exploration and technology; it’s necessary for further space developments Rutkowski, master’s degree candidate at the School of Advanced International Studies specializing in economic cooperation with China, 2009 (Ryan, “US-China Cooperation in Manned-Space Exploration,” Middle Path, http://rrutkows.blogspot.com/2009/02/us-china-cooperation-in-manned-space.html, February 21, accessed July 7, 2011, NS) However, the continued reluctance to pursue U.S. and China space cooperation, ignores the benefits of such cooperation, namely promote mutual understanding, cost savings, improved transparency, and ensuring long-term gains in human space exploration. Similar with US-Russian cooperation, US-Chinese space cooperation will allow for a cultural exchange through collaboration with US and Chinese astronauts and scientists. China could be a vital source of funding to reduce the rising costs for an expanding U.S. space program. Indeed, China and the US could collaborate on joint-projects, such as ISS or even a lunar base that could help reduce the cost of investment in space exploration for both countries. US-China space collaboration would also reduce security tensions, especially in space-based weapons, by increasing transparency of the long-term intentions of both countries in space technology. Finally, U.S. and Chinese civilian space programs could recognize a common purpose and commitment to the development of space technology to promote progress in human space exploration to the moon, mars, and beyond. U.S-China space cooperation is vital to future progress in space technology and space exploration. The U.S. and China could engage in non-sensitive data and information sharing from satellites, such as debris management, environmental and meteorological conditions, and navigation. The two countries could also engage in a space policy dialogue similar to the annual strategic economic dialogue to build a better understanding of civilian and military space objectives and a common vision for space exploration initiatives. Finally, the U.S. and China could launch bi-lateral and multi-lateral joint-projects with ISS, lunar expeditions, and eventual mars exploration. Ultimately, the future of U.S.-China space cooperation is a necessity for continuation of human progress in exploring our planet, solar system, and worlds beyond. Key to scientific innovation China Through a Lens, 3/4/02 [China Through a Lens, “Sci-tech Cooperation: a Win-Win 30-year History Between China and US”3/4/02, http://www.china.org.cn/english/china-us/27985.htm, accessed 6/31/11, HK] Through the equal exchange with the United States, China has learned and drawn the world’s advanced scientific theory and management methods, become well informed about the latest scientific and technological level information and development potential, learned advanced expertise or theories, research methods and technologies, and trained a large batch of high-level talents in science and technology. Take the Chinese Academy of Sciences, for instance: in the past 20 years, about 10,000 technicians or researchers went to America for study or research, taking up almost one fourth of the total number of people sent by the academy for overseas study or research. Most of the leaders or backbone personnel of the academy and of its attached branches all have experience in studying or working in the US before, such as BaiChunli, Hong Guofan, Ma Zhiming and some other highly reputed scientists. Officials from the Ministry of Science and Technology said that Sino-US science and technology cooperation is a two-sided, reciprocal and win-win process, with both sides benefiting from each other at the same time. Through the exchange and communication between two sides, a deep understanding in science and technology has been reached within scientific circles on both sides and a broad and comprehensive cooperation foundation has been shaped. Thanks to such exchanges and cooperation, the two countries have shared many important scientific data as well. Coop Good – China Space Program China benefits immensely from cooperation Zhou, Center for Space and applied Sciences, 8 (Yi – Chinese Academy of the Sciences and Professor at George Washington University, Perspectives on Sino-US cooperation in civil space programs, Science Direct, Space Policy 24 (2008) 132-139) AC The mutual benefits of space cooperation Both China and the USA are important countries in global politics, economics and space activity. Both countries’ national space policies are supportive of international cooperation on space activities. They have also made progress and benefited from space cooperation with their partners in past years. However, there is only a limited number of individuals from the two countries visiting each other on a non-official basis and sparse information exchange on space. China and the USA have no government space cooperation agreement. China does not have any cooperative space projects with NASA either, although both countries have joined other multilateral government agreements, such as the International Living with a Star (ILWS), Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS), the Global Exploration Strategy, the Outer Space Treaty and other related international space law treaties. Can China become a new partner of the USA in the near future after Europe, Japan and even Russia, and directly collaborate on space with it? Would both countries benefit from bilateral space collaboration? On the one hand, there are many obvious potential benefits that could emerge for China’s space program. According to China’s official space policy, the country will develop programs balanced between space science, space technology and space applications. The objective is grand, but it is difficult to attain these goals because of China’s present limited space capability, budget and experience. Cooperation with developed space countries, including Russia, Europe and the USA will be a short cut for China to obtain these objectives. For example: _ Bilateral cooperation on space science missions will improve China’s scientific instrument development and data analysis capability, as well as its research system capability. _ Bilateral cooperation on human spaceflight will quicken China’s breakthrough in the key technology problems of human spaceflight and related areas. _ By developing its space technology, China will improve the competitive ability of its space products in the global market. _ Bilateral space cooperation will improve the level of professionalism and project management in the field. _ Civil space cooperation will potentially promote China’s military modernization via dual use space technology in some limited areas, although cooperation with the USA could weaken the independence of current Chinese space technology efforts in general. Indeed, one of the main reasons why China has used cooperation with other countries is to speed up its indigenous space effort by participating in and learning from the experience of different programs, rather than focusing on attempting to acquire knowledge of key technologies.
