Parabolic Arc: Chinese Space Leader Calls for Cooperation as Congress Says No

From Parabolic Arc:

A leading figure in China’s space program was in Colorado this week urging joint cooperation with the United States, including human spaceflight, while Congressional leaders in Washington were prohibiting NASA from doing anything of the sort.
Space News reports on remarks by “Lei Fanpei, vice president of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp. (CASC), which oversees much of China’s launch vehicle and satellite manufacturing industry”: 

Lei said he sees three areas in which U.S.-Chinese cooperation would be in both nations’ interests. The first, he said, is an open commercial access of each nation to the other’s capabilities in satellites and launch vehicles. The second, he said, is manned spaceflight and space science, particularly in deep space exploration. The third is in satellite applications including disaster monitoring and management.
