中国探月工程
In 2014, China and Argentina signed an agreement allowing China to construct the Espacio Lejano Station in South America. The station was built in Neuquén Province, Argentina (~70°W), with a 50 million-dollar investment. The facility, a part of Chinese Lunar Exploration Program, was inaugurated in October 2017. The station is seen by some as a symbol of China's increased role in South America's politics and economy.
