"Currently, there’s no plans to create a bilateral arrangement with China on the exchange of samples," Green said at a Tuesday meeting of the Lunar Exploration Analysis Group, as quoted by SpaceNews."Over time, focused efforts can be and have been done [to win approval by the White House and Congress for cooperation]," Green said, adding that "we have mechanisms, and we would use those mechanisms as we move into the future."Last year, China successfully completed its Chang’e 5 lunar sample return mission, becoming the third country in human history after the United States and the Soviet Union to successfully perform such a mission.China is seeking to construct a prototype of a scientific research station on the Moon by 2030 and is planning to carry out lunar scientific research during the upcoming Chang'e 6, Chang'e 7 and Chang'e 8 missions.

Exchange of Lunar Samples Between NASA, China Unlikely in Near Future, Chief Scientist Says
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is not planning to share its lunar samples with China, although there are no amendments explicitly prohibiting such cooperation, NASA chief scientist Jim Green said.
"Currently, there’s no plans to create a bilateral arrangement with China on the exchange of samples," Green said at a Tuesday meeting of the Lunar Exploration Analysis Group, as quoted by SpaceNews.

"Over time, focused efforts can be and have been done [to win approval by the White House and Congress for cooperation]," Green said, adding that "we have mechanisms, and we would use those mechanisms as we move into the future."
Last year, China successfully completed its
Chang’e 5 lunar sample return mission, becoming the third country in human history after the United States and the Soviet Union to successfully perform such a mission.
China is seeking to construct a prototype of a scientific research station on the Moon by 2030 and is planning to carry out lunar scientific research during the upcoming Chang'e 6, Chang'e 7 and Chang'e 8 missions.
