NASA Administrator Agrees to Visit China – Mike Schneider

From AP via the Washington Post (link):

NASA Administrator Michael Griffin has accepted an invitation to visit China to start talks on possibly cooperating with the Chinese in some areas of space.

“I think the United States always benefits from discussions and I do not see how it can hurt us,” Griffin told members of the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Science and Space in Washington on Tuesday.

NASA spokesman Dean Acosta said no date or agenda has been set for a China visit by Griffin. Chinese President Hu Jintao met with President Bush in Washington last week.
