The People’s Republic of China has built and launched telecommunications and satellites for many countries, particularly developing nations.
Currently, aerospace development in China is focused on integrating platforms with new solutions, including automated developments with Artificial Intelligence and new propulsion methods that are more efficient and economical. The application of Telecommunications satellites, remote sensing, and navigation systems are entirely complementary.
