Xinhuanet, Washington D.C., October 22 (reporter Lin Xiaochun)-United States Space Agency ban on participation of Chinese astronomy Conference storm paused. Who had been refused to the meeting of the us-Chinese researchers 22nd told Xinhua that the US space agency has adopted a security review for him, this means that he can attend the meeting. US Space Agency also confirmed on the same day, the first scientists of Chinese nationality are prohibited from participating "apply now".
Above would not give the names of Chinese researchers, said in an e-mail that day: "everything has passed. "When a reporter asked him if he would have attended the meeting, and he briefly answered:" to go. ”
United States Space Agency spokesman alade·biteer also told reporters, originally (prohibition of Chinese researchers to participate in the second meeting of the Kepler science) decision was "unfortunate", due to foreign citizens visiting United States Space Agency facilities policy "misinterpreted". United States Government can open 17th, United States Space Agency "correct decision."
The astronomy meeting will be held November 4 in California of the United States held at NASA Ames Research Center, it was not until 6 Chinese researchers have been rejected are allowed to attend.
In late September, United States Space Agency quoted space cooperation with China in 2011 for the first time ban ("Wolf articles") and rejected 6 Chinese researchers to participate in the second meeting of the Kepler science, discontent caused a number of American and British top scientists, and called for a boycott of the meeting.
Under immense public pressure, bans members of the Wolf and the United States NASA Administrator Charles Bolden that "wrong", said the ban does not cover individual activities in China, "unless they are official representative of the Government of China". But the United States, experts say such coverage "very extensive", leading to United States space agencies are afraid of dealing with China, ban is not repealed, similar problems may emerge.
新华网华盛顿10月22日电(记者林小春)美国航天局禁止中国人参加天文会议的风波暂告一段落。一名曾被拒绝与会的旅美中国研究人员22日告诉新华社记者，美航天局已通过了对他的安全审查，这意味着他可以参加会议。美航天局同日也证实，最初被禁止参会的中国籍科学家“现在可以申请了”。
上述不愿意透露姓名的中国研究人员当天在一封电子邮件中说：“一切都通过了。”当记者问他是否会去参加会议时，他简短地回答：“要去。”
美国航天局发言人阿拉德·比特尔当天也向记者表示，最初(禁止中国籍研究人员参加第二届开普勒科学会议)的决定是“不幸的”，是出于对外国公民访问美国航天局设施政策的“错误理解”。美国政府17日重新开门后，美国航天局“纠正了上述决定”。
这一天文会议将于11月4日至8日在位于加利福尼亚州的美国航天局艾姆斯研究中心举行，目前尚不清楚之前被拒的6名中国研究人员是否已全都获准参会。
今年9月底，美国航天局援引2011年首次通过的对华航天合作禁令(即“沃尔夫条款”)，拒绝6名中国研究人员参加第二届开普勒科学会议，引起多位美英著名科学家不满，并号召抵制会议。
在巨大的舆论压力下，发起禁令的议员沃尔夫与美国航天局局长查尔斯·博尔登纷纷认“错”，称禁令不涉及中国个别人员的活动，“除非他们是中国政府的官方代表”。但美国专家表示，此禁令涵盖范围“非常广泛”，导致美国航天机构都害怕跟中国打交道，禁令不废除，类似问题可能层出不穷。
