Summary/Abstract

China is constructing an overwhelming satellite network, called the “National Spatial Infrastructure”, that might change the security and economic operations of global governance. Xi Jinping’s Military–Civil Fusion (MCF) strategy is founded on this system. Along with the well-known BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS), the remote sensing satellite system and the communication and broadcasting satellite system form this new infrastructure. China is using it to establish a strong monitoring capability by: collecting various data on vessels’ navigation and oceanography; developing a huge communication network that covers actors and objects on the ocean as well as in the sky and the space; reforming its fishery administration and establishing new laws that enable the authorities to mobilise the numerous Chinese fishermen operating in global waters; and cultivating people-friendly apps to invite more users into the Chinese systems. Based on its strong victimhood mentality that calls for “great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation”, the Xi Jinping administration is trying to initiate a new human age by developing advanced technology and integrating it with social implementation that aims to increase China’s influence over the globe.

	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

The successful launch of the Chinese Beidou (Compass) Navigation Satellite System (hereafter refers to as BDS) makes it the third operational navigation satellite system capable of offering regional services after GPS and GLONASS in the end of 2012. Yet considering the dominant role of GPS in global GNSS market, it's a great challenge to maximize the utilization of other systems and cultivate competitive domestic navigation industries for all latecomers in the GNSS community. This paper analyzes the current strategy of BDS industrialization by a detailed review of current policy documents from both central and local government, examines the progress of BDS industrialization based on statistical data and expert interviews, and summarized the current strategy of BDS industrialization as indigenous in key domains and compatible in commercialization. Then a stakeholder analysis is conducted to analyze the consideration behind current strategy. This paper also comes up with several policy recommendations for Chinese decision makers' reference to improve BDS related policies in the future from a latecomer's perspective based on detailed comparison analysis of BDS's advantages and disadvantages.
