A treaty. Enforced by the signatories. There are only a handful of countries with launch capability, even fewer that can put large numbers of satellites in orbit, and even fewer that can put up a moon base. This is basically saying we need to make rules and get China to follow them.

You’re making the mistake of thinking china thinks the way you do. They don’t. How are things going climate change agreements? They turn on a new coal power plant a week. If it benefits them they will do it and screw the consequences.

China isn’t going to follow them. Look at how they’ve treated disputed territory in the South China Sea.
