The Chinese regime is positioning itself for the next iteration of the communications technology race with Western rivals by launching a national project to coordinate its major space actors.
China’s first centrally administrated satellite internet company was inaugurated in Xiongan New Area, southwest of Beijing, on April 28, according to the state-owned China Daily. Han Zheng, the vice-premier of the Chinese regime, reviewed the company’s proposed location and witnessed the cooperative agreement signed with the local administrative committee before attending the inauguration ceremony, said the report.
Space-based internet can provide high-performance services through mega-constellations of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, which is also an essential aspect of a ground-air-space integrated network for constructing sixth-generation (6G) systems.
Over the past few years, there has been heightened interest in the commercial space industry. SpaceX’s Starlink has more than 1,300 satellites in orbit, surpassing other companies and governments in the world and serving over 10,000 users. Anther LEO broadband provider, OneWeb, has launched 146 satellites.
The communist regime refused to be left behind.
In April 2020, the National Development and Reform Commission added satellite internet to its information infrastructure construction plan. The new generation information industry is designed to deploy advanced technology, such as 5G, space-based internet, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence through this infrastructure.
The spectrum allocation (radio frequency allocation) applications submitted to the International Telecommunication Union in September 2020 unveiled a Chinese regime initiative called GW. The GW requires the use of two LEO constellations with 12,992 satellites, ranging between 366 and 711 miles above sea level and operating across the 37.5GHz–42.5 GHz and 47.2GHz–51.4GHz frequency bands.
The huge size suggests the GW is pursuing a global market, said Larry Press, a professor of information systems at California State University in an article he wrote for CircleID.

It’s going to be the resources of a private company vs. the unlimited taxing resources of the Chinese government.
Currently, two major satellite internet projects in China are backed by the regime.
The Hongyun project was developed by the country’s largest missile maker China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation and will concentrate services in remote regions.
The Hongyan project is expected to launch 300 LEO satellites, with $3 billion in funding for launching 60 satellites in the first phase. The state-owned enterprise China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp (CASC) is responsible for its construction.
How many will “accidentally” hit starlink satellites?
lol no
They offer a spectacular space wok.
Not sure what I’m looking at there.

The rines are crossed?
This is really getting ridicurous!
Perhaps some words of wisdom from Confucius, via Donna Chang.
Seinfeld is everywhere.
There will be accidents during launces because of these things. Eventually there will be a collision. More and more stuff to slam into up there.
It was originally Changstein.
The same china that currently has a rocket/booster that’s headed to earth uncontrolled?
Maybe they should team up with Boeing, the company that’s been working in this area with the US government for decades, that can’t seem to keep up with Musk.
Is that the stage for the crew module or ISS? The object's path makes no sense. Any guesses?
China couldn’t contain a virus in their own lab, and look at the mess it created worldwide ...
but now we’re supposed to trust them putting 13,000 satellites in orbit all over the globe? All launched with unreliable Chinese technology?
This has “potential disaster” written all over it
But will they be cool and have Solar Shades?
Just add micro lazer weapon and a large spinning mirror, and you could kill a human target from space.
Blanket the earth with similar satellites, and you could kill all humans walking out doors from space.
Don’t think some state actors haven’t already designed the means of wiping out mankind from orbit.
That’s what aliens would do, zap us all from orbit, with trillions of mini layers.
You could end all life on earth larger than a bunny rabbit, with such technology.
You do realize that the smallest wisp of cloud will stop a microlaser, right?
The large spinning mirror is also a huge, obvious and fragile target.
You don’t even need that - just put up a superpowered comms satellite with a big microwave-frequency emitter. There’s your death ray.
this is evidently to work in conjunction of Xi’s announced plan to take over the entire internet.
“ How many will “accidentally” hit starlink satellites?”
How many will hit or damage ANY US satellites if the SHTF?
