Russian leaders are hoping to sell rocket engines to China as part of a wide-reaching effort that includes increased cooperation on space matters between the two countries, according to Russia's state-run media. Dmitry Rogozin, the deputy prime minister of Russia who oversees the country's space sector, said in a July 7 report by Russia's state-run TASS news agency that the two nations are discussing a broad agreement that would detail the intellectual property rights of Russian technology products to be sold in China. "These above all include rocket engines," Rogozin said. "China is especially interested in it." Rogozin made the comments after meeting with his Chinese counterpart, Wang Yang, in Irkutsk, Russia, where the two discussed space, satellite navigation and other topics in preparation for a meeting later this year between the heads of both countries.
