China Space Policy

The space race between the United States and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) continues to draw focus as each nation vies for strategic space advantage. Our team of experts closely monitors China’s efforts to engage with third-party countries aiming to collaboratively develop in-orbit and/or terrestrial space capabilities. Our strategic spectrum and regulatory affairs specialists have compiled a quick reference tool to illuminate the breadth and scope of PRC investment in satellites launched and ground stations built across the African continent. This tool is intended for ease of reference. Please utilize the Contact Us page if you would like to inquire about our quick reference tool, request additional information on regions with significant PRC activity, or explore our in-depth analysis of China’s strategic positioning with respect to space.
