President Javier Milei’s government is closely following the presence of the Chinese officials and soldiers at the Asian giant’s misterious space station in Neuquén Province, and plans to move forward with an inspection of the contracts that authorised its creation.
A high-level Cabinet source, says officials want to assess activity at the Espacio Profundo CLTC-CONAE-NEUQUEN Station, which China qualifies as “strictly scientific”.
“There is something strange about the contracts in that base. They were given territory where Argentina can virtually not enter”, the source specified about the Espacio Lejano Station, located north of Bajada del Agrio, in the so-called “Pampa de Pilmatué”.
Argentina’s government wants to check if the agreements are being observed. It may even consider a physical inspection of the base and of its surroundings, according to reports.
Regardless of the ideological discrepancies between Milei and the Chinese Premier, Xi Jinping, the government considers that “the contracts are unclear”, said the source.
