Queqiao 2

[Alex Fraser]

I forgot to ask about this on our Saturday Zoom.
The Chinese have a relay satellite in orbit around the Moon.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queqiao-2
The Queqiao 2 was used to support the Chinese probes and robot rover 
that landed on the dark side of the Moon.
AFAIK it is still operational.
Will the Artemis 2 interact with this Chinese machine?
How come this isn't mentioned anywhere?

Details of the Queqiao 2's comms are in the Wikipedia article.
