And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Revelation 14 : 6

SHANGHAI (Reuters) – The chief designer of China’s lunar exploration programme accused the United States on Wednesday of interfering in Beijing’s attempts to cooperate with Europe and other foreign partners in space programmes.
Wu Weiren, in a rare interview with foreign media, told Reuters that China pursued a policy of open space diplomacy, in contrast with the U.S., and that it remained open to cooperating on lunar exploration with developing and developed countries.
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.Hebrews 4 : 12

Establish a permanent base on the moon by 2035,
Wu said the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS), an initiative led by Russia and China to establish a permanent base on the moon by 2035, was developing well, with 17 countries and international organisations already signed up as members.
But he suggested China had not been able to attract as many lunar project partners as the U.S. because of U.S. interference, though he didn’t provide details.
The warning of the third angel, which forms a part of the same threefold message, is to be no less widespread. It is represented in the prophecy as being proclaimed with a loud voice, by an angel flying in the midst of heaven; and it will command the attention of the world.

“The ILRS’ development trend is very good but compared to the U.S.’ Artemis Accords, ours is much smaller in terms of countries because the U.S. is always interfering in our cooperation with other countries, including with Europe,” Wu said, without elaborating on the interference.

Establish norms of behaviour in space
The Artemis Accords are a U.S.-led multilateral agreement meant to establish norms of behaviour in space and on the moon and Mars, which has over 50 signatories so far.

“China and Russia cooperate the best with each other now,” Wu said, adding that China looked forward to further cooperation with Russia on moon-based nuclear energy.
The missionary work in Australia and New Zealand is yet in its infancy; but the same work must be accomplished in Australia, New Zealand, in Africa, India, China, and the islands of the sea, as has been accomplished in the home field. Under the appropriate symbol of an angel flying through the midst of heaven is represented the work of the people of God. In this work heavenly intelligences co-operate with human agencies in extending the last message to the inhabitants of the world. BEcho September 1, 1892, par. 24

Ecumenism / Asia-Pacific Space Cooperation
Recent Chinese unmanned missions to the moon, to lay the groundwork to eventually build a manned lunar base, have carried foreign payloads from countries like Pakistan, Thailand, Italy and France, raising the profile of Beijing’s space diplomacy.
We are to follow where God’s providence opens the way; and as we advance, we shall find that Heaven has moved before us, enlarging the field for labor far beyond the proportion of our means and ability to supply. The great want of the field open before us, should appeal to all to whom God has intrusted talents of means or ability, that they may devote themselves and their all to God. BEcho September 1, 1892, par. 24
“ILRS is the sole mission in the world that provides equal opportunities for any country to be accepted and to participate actively by proposing payloads and satellites,” said Hernan Merino Choque, a deputy director at the Asia-Pacific Space Cooperation Organization, an ILRS member and a multilateral grouping whose biggest funder is Beijing.
We are to be as faithful stewards, not only of our means, but of the grace given unto us, that many souls may be brought under the blood-stained banner of Prince Immanuel. The purposes and ends to be attained by consecrated missionaries are very comprehensive. The field for missionary operation is not limited by caste or nationality. The field is the world, and the light of truth is to go to all the dark places of the earth in a much shorter time than many think possible. BEcho September 1, 1892, par. 24
Train a Pakistani astronaut to join a future Space
China in February said it would train a Pakistani astronaut to join a future space flight next year to the country’s Tiangong space station. This will be the first time a foreign astronaut enters the station.

Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the European Space Agency (ESA) ruled out joining the ILRS due to Russia’s involvement.
Meanwhile, U.S-China space diplomacy has been limited by the Wolf Amendment, a U.S. law passed in 2011 that banned NASA from collaboration with “China or any Chinese-owned company unless such activities are specifically authorised.”
While ESA sent a payload aboard China’s latest lunar probe, the Chang’e-6 mission, it has since said there were no plans for it to join the Chang’e-7 and 8 missions, slated for next year and 2028, respectively.
In 2023, the European agency said it would no longer consider sending European astronauts to the Tiangong space station.
