At the recently held 74th International Astronautical Congress (IAC), China's National Space Administration released an announcement on international cooperation opportunities for the Chang'e-8 mission. Chang'e-8 is planned to be launched around 2028, and will form the basic model of a lunar research station together with Chang'e-7 and others. This announcement indicates that the International Lunar Research Station, a major scientific project led by China and co built by multiple countries, is steadily advancing as planned, demonstrating China's open mindedness in promoting the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.

This is an openness based on hard power. The construction of a lunar research station marks a new stage in China's lunar exploration industry. In 2004, China's lunar exploration project was officially approved and implemented. In 2007, Chang'e-1 was successfully launched. In the past 20 years, the lunar exploration project has won consecutive battles and successfully achieved the strategic goal of "circling, falling, and returning" in three steps. At the same time, there have been frequent reports of successful manned space projects, the successful completion of China's space station, significant breakthroughs in China's space technology capabilities, and the establishment of cooperative relationships with multiple countries. Only with deep roots can the leaves flourish, and only with solid roots can the branches flourish. The accumulation of these past experiences has laid a solid foundation for us to propose and lead the construction of an international lunar research station.

This is a charismatic openness. The moon is the closest celestial body to Earth, serving as a transit station for humans to travel further into deep space, and an important pathway for studying the "three major origins" of life, the solar system, and the universe. The ancients looked at the moon and imagined the story of Chang'e running to the moon, depicting the peaceful and beautiful Guanghan Palace. Today's lunar exploration aims to build a real "moon palace" on the moon, making it a cutting-edge base for human deep space exploration, equipped with energy supply, central control, transportation between heaven and earth, and long-term survival. In the future, spacecraft can set sail from here and fly further into the starry sky. A major project like this to expand human life and living space should gather the strength of various countries and the wisdom of global scientists in order to be more complete and vibrant. At present, the International Lunar Research Station's major scientific project has received active response and participation from nearly 20 countries and international organizations, demonstrating China's appeal in the field of space exploration.

This is a sense of responsibility and openness. There are a large number of resources on the moon, and the development and utilization of lunar resources will inevitably promote technological innovation and leap, promote the development of emerging industries, and create huge economic value. Involving such huge interests, it is difficult to achieve success without rules. The International Lunar Research Station will become a outpost for the development of lunar resources. If everything goes smoothly, it may be the first extraterrestrial base in human history, and the founders often shoulder the responsibility of establishing new rules and exploring new frameworks. China has always adhered to conducting space exploration cooperation on the basis of equality, mutual benefit, and peaceful utilization. The lunar research station project is open to all interested international partners, achieving win-win cooperation in the space field. This is the welfare of all humanity and the rejection of hegemonism. The open construction model of this project will become a model for space resource development, helping countries around the world to explore and utilize the moon on an equal and sustainable basis.

According to the plan, the International Lunar Research Station will be implemented in three stages, with both construction and use. Build a basic lunar research station around 2028, a comprehensive lunar research station before 2040, and gradually upgrade to a practical and multifunctional lunar base. Building an international lunar research station, China has the leading ability, an open mind, and a long-term vision. We are willing to work together with countries around the world to explore space cognition and promote technological progress. Looking forward to its early completion and providing new opportunities for world development.
