China denies media reports that its moon exploration plan is aimed at seeking Helium-3 resources.
Director of the Chinese Lunar Exploration Project Hu Hao says the moon exploration should not be viewed as a means of mining Helium-3.
Like the manned space program, the moon exploration will be of benefit to China.
But China's current moon exploration is to research the layout of moon resources, still some way from utilizing them.
