has mounted a significant effort to establish itself as a major player in space \u2013 a domain that nations, including the United States, are increasingly looking to not only for scientific benefit,

China National Space Administration has in recent years carried out a series of increasingly complex robotic lunar missions, including the first-ever return of lunar samples from the far side of the moon earlier this year.    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph\" data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cm4tf1b8r000e3b6m64s790m6@published\"
