"In recent years, a new “space race” has intensified between the United States
and China. At a campaign rally last weekend, Republican presidential candidate
Donald Trump invoked this rivalry when declaring the US will “lead the world in
space”, echoing Democratic counterpart Vice President Kamala Harris.

Meanwhile, the president of China, Xi Jinping, has said becoming “a space power
is our eternal dream”.

But what is this latest “race” about, and are there pathways to common ground?
History suggests these do exist. As a space governance specialist, I argue our
future depends on it."
