NASA has confirmed a new policy banning Chinese citizens with U.S. visas from participating in its programs. This policy took effect last Friday and is a significant development in the ongoing space race between China and the United States.

NASA's press secretary stated the restrictions are meant to "ensure the security of the agency's work."
