Argentinian politicians are seeking to introduce legislation that increases oversight of a Chinese-run space observation station in the remote Patagonia region. The Argentine government has been pushing for more than two years to establish an international monitoring system on the station, which is located about 1,000 miles south west of Buenos Aires. The Senate majority leader and five other politicians have submitted a bill to create a commission to monitor the co-operation deal between the two countries relating to the space exploration scheme, as Argentina has no physical oversight of the centre's operations.
