NASA has recently implemented a new rule that will no longer allow Chinese nationals to work on NASA’s space programs.

NASA has announced that Chinese nationals who hold US visas will no longer be allowed to access NASA buildings, networks, research equipment, data systems and meetings, whether online or in person.

The move came after some people were suddenly locked out of their IT accounts and denied access to meetings and programs.

The main reason for the decision has been given as security concerns. NASA says the move is necessary to protect its work and sensitive technical information.

The move comes at a time when competition between the US and China in the space arena is intensifying, especially in the race to return humans to the moon.
