How close is China to becoming a dominant space power? | DW News

China has launched an unprecedented mission to retrieve samples from the far side of the moon. The spacecraft Chang'e-6 blasted off from the southern island province of Hainan. It’s expected to bring the samples back to Earth within two months. It's the latest advance in China's ambitious space exploration efforts now competing with the United States. China already landed a ROVER on the far side in 2019, making it the first country to do so. We spoke to Mu Cui from DW's China Service.
