China and Russia to build moon base to counter to US and Japanese plans

Russia’s Moscow Times lists four top projects of cooperation between China and Russia to describe the increasingly closer ties between the two close allies.

However, the four projects, especially the establishment of a joint moon base do indicate the exceptional close ties between countries in the world.

The main project for consideration is a space base on the moon. As Japan and USA are also planning this, it is reasonable to think that this project is aimed at countering those two countries.

The four top projects mentioned by the newspaper are:

• Joint space base on the moon;
• Joint development of M-26 helicopter;
• Transaction of S-400 missile system; and
• Joint development of large airliner
