Abstract

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.
中国“国家空间基础设施”与全球治理:中国海上军民融合(MCF)方式
中国正在建设一个庞大的卫星网络,被称为“国家空间基础设施”,这可能会改变全球治理的安全和经济运作。与著名的北斗卫星导航系统(BDS)一起,遥感卫星系统和通信广播卫星系统构成了这一新的基础设施。中国正在利用它建立强大的监测能力:收集船舶航行和海洋方面的各种数据;发展覆盖海洋、天空和太空的行动者和物体的庞大通信网络;改革渔业管理,制定新的法律,使当局能够动员在全球水域作业的众多中国渔民;开发人性化的应用程序,邀请更多用户进入中国系统。
