The administration of U.S. President Barack Obama released a new National Space Policy on June 28, and one of its explicit goals is to expand international cooperation. The policy proposes greater efforts to work with other nations, not only in such areas as space nuclear power, space situational awareness and preservation of the space environment, but also in the pursuit of “bilateral and multilateral transparency and confidence-building measures.” While it is not explicitly stated, one of the clear targets of this policy is China.
