Chinese often say "the world" to describe the scene of "lifting a stone and shooting themselves in the foot", and the Wolf Treaty of the United States can be called a classic case of the "world". In 2011, the United States banned all cooperation between NASA and China in order to prevent China's space development. At that time, the United States was far ahead in the aerospace industry, and the International Space Station was also in its "prime". Unexpectedly, feng shui takes turns, just 10 years have passed, the life of the International Space Station is coming to an end, but China's Tiangong space station is gradually improving. With the Chinese probe landing on the moon to retrieve the lunar soil, the United States remembered to cooperate with China, but China could only politely refuse because of the "Wolf Clause".
(China's lunar exploration program has already started and is very well prepared)
As China's moon landing program is advancing step by step, many countries hope to be able to take China's "rocket express" and be able to "get a piece of the pie" on the moon, China also maintains an open attitude and welcomes scientific research teams from all over the world to join. According to the Beijing Daily, citing Russia's TASS news agency, according to the latest news, another US ally has taken the initiative to apply to join the Sino-Russian International Lunar Research Station project, and this country is Turkey.

In fact, before Turkey, many United States allies in Europe have expressed their willingness to cooperate with China's space, especially after the gradual improvement of the Tiangong space station, it is reported that ESA astronauts have begun to learn Chinese, so that they can have the opportunity to work on Tiangong in the future, including Japan and South Korea have also proposed space cooperation with China. The main reason why former allies have chosen to put the United States aside and cooperate with China is that the United States has been "lonely" in the aerospace field in recent years.

In recent years, the space field in the United States has gradually changed from being dominated by the official NASA to being dominated by a series of private companies such as Musk's SpaceX, which has launched the "Falcon Heavy" rocket and the "Starship" spacecraft, which are known as the most powerful thrust, and NASA will also use these private companies' spacecraft to complete manned space missions in the future. Moreover, in the future, when the service life of the International Space Station arrives, the United States wants to launch people into space, but there is no place to receive them for long-term stay, and they can only carry out short-term missions in orbit.
In addition, the period when the United States invested the most in the space field was the Cold War period, after the end of the Cold War, the United States investment in the space field has been significantly reduced, coupled with the failure and crash of the US space shuttle, the United States has no space shuttle available, and the exploration of outer space relies on unmanned spacecraft. Coupled with the impact of the Wolf clause, it is impossible for the United States to board the Tiangong space station, which means that the United States will lose its "foothold" in space in the future.

In addition, although there are quite a few probe programs in the United States to land on the moon, the United States and Japan have not succeeded in their current probe landing programs, and although the United States completed the manned lunar landing as early as the last century, it is still a question mark whether the United States still has the strength to land a manned person on the moon in those years.

On the other hand, China, in the environment of open international cooperation, and many countries to jointly carry out space development, can not only reduce the financial pressure, but also through international cooperation, more experimental data, belongs to the "win-win", with China's future space station and lunar exploration program successively implemented, the future of other countries' space research must be bound to China, but also strengthen China's weight in the field of space development, then may not only the United States allies to "defect", even the United States itself may have to "go back on its word" and join China's space program.
