World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Hardly stupid, China cannot be trusted.
With a Moon rock? What are they going to do, put a spy camera in it?
i mean like generally there are reasons for the us not cooperating with China for space stuff, just look at where their first stages land and the recent tianlong 3 "static" fire
Maybe so, but in this case, a rock is a rock.
With scientific data. China is take, take, take, for its own benefit and offers nothing back.
You do know that the whole point of doing science is to evaluate data, right? The only way to get data about a moon rock without studying it themselves would be to get that data from China.
So do you want China to get its way for some reason? Or do you think China would send a fake Moon rock? I honestly don't understand your issue here.
That wasn’t even close to what he said
I have no idea what they are trying to say. If China gives America a moon rock, Chinese data on the rock is not really a problem.
just about as much as the USA cannot be trusted too
As a European, I don't trust the USA either. Maybe even less so.
I trust scientific data, which, when it comes to Moon rocks, shouldn't be affected by politics in any way. But it does require scientists in multiple countries to evaluate the data. And that should be as many countries with qualified scientists as possible.
So it should be studied by scientists from NASA and the ESA and JAXA and others.
Moon rocks, shouldn't be affected by politics but they clearly are. The US politicises everything. I wouldn't trust them either.
What exactly could they do? This makes no sense. I get the whole idea that the PRC can't be trusted, but do you think they would fake a Moon rock in some way NASA scientists couldn't tell or what?
I meant the US can't be trusted. It doesn't matter what they can or can't do. Cooperating with China over anything is out. The policy is to demonise them at every opportunity.
Okay, but this is about science, not politics.
