YES! China can/will OFFER a better safer more secure satellite-based internet telecomm system that are "radio-silent" to SURPASS Elon Musk's Starlink Satellites that are TOO "radio-noisy" Elon Musk's Starlink Satellites that are TOO "radio-noisy" MUST be turned OFF during WAR in order to allow USA's STEALTH Aircraft to STAY STEALTHY, but if KEPT ON, ALL USA's STEALTH Aircraft become VISIBLE to China’s more advanced sophisticated DEFENSE "invisible" (dual active+passive mode) RADAR systems! USA's MILITARY contemplating WAR against China, must give up using any of Starlink's TOO "radio-noisy" Satellite transmissions that ILLUMINATE USA's "not stealthy anymore" STEALTH Aircraft (bombers+fighterjets+cruise missiles), or ask ELON to turn Starlink OFF giving up Starlink Satellite "Signal-Services" in order to keep its Stealthy STEALTH Aircraft LESS VISIBLE to detection by passive-mode radars that can SEE them! China also ALREADY has in use more "radio-silent" (Hidden-Signal) secure encrypted space-telecomm technology, so advanced, that USA has no way of detecting, nor recognizing, nor monitoring (much less deciphering)! this doesn't even count the fact ordinary older "weather radar" has been advanced by China with proprietary technology updates, to detect, identify, and track ANY of USA's supposed "radiowave-absorbing material" coated Stealth Military Aircraft! making any of USA Military "aerial offenses" visible, which can be better defensively countered not counting the fact China's newer wider AI-assisted nonlinear inter-web detection system can BYPASS all transmission jamming interference by USA's military EW (electronic warfare) systems! not counting the fact China already has satellite technology to detect+track any Large USA's Naval Submarines SUBMERGED while MOVING undersea, rendering all oceans TRANSPARENT! China is so technologically ahead, it can efficiently and quickly adapt to surpass any new advantages by others, on demand, which no one else is capable of at all

[@gelinrefira]

Kevin brings up an important point. If your country relies on an American company for your crucial communication infrastructure, you do not have digital and data sovereignty. This is why China's Great Firewall exist, why they build alternative digital outlets and to prevent US big tech from taking over their digital space because once you allow that to happen, the US government can do whatever it wants to your government, your people, your society, your politics, and your culture. Remember snow dan, remember what the nsa did, remember prism, remember that American companies like cisco are constantly found to have backdoors in their products. Now even intel chips are found to have backdoors. Everything that comes out of American companies are basically spyware. The moment the US accused China of installing backdoors and spyware is the moment it confirmed that the US have done that to all American tech companies.

[@bjorntorlarsson]

But it is difficult for any government to stop Starlink from working. And Elon Musk is inteded to become the DOGE (Department Of Government Efficiency) in the USA to take care of that ridicuous political threat against him from the world's most stupid and disgusting persons.

Now, he is called "侃爷" by Chinese music fans, which has the same pronunciation as "Kanye". The Chinese word "Kan 侃" means to"speak with fervor and assurance"; and "ye 爷" means grandpa, and it also represents a person who are humane and righteous, brave, principled and bottom line. So, he directly changed his name to "ye". He said: "Am I the only one who thinks Elon (Musk) could be "half Chinese"?" Musk smiled and answered calmly: "I think it's a compliment." Although Musk's grandfather is of South African nationality, he is Asian, and his ancestry has not been known to future generations. However, Musk's genes confirm that his grandfather is Chinese. Musk’s paternal gene type is O2b1-F1150, a paternal gene type unique to the eastern coast of China.

It is interesting how Elon's Space X is advancing due to his vertical manufacturing. In the other hand, we hear a lot about how China has copied from the West to get to the level where she is at.

By 2030 there will be another factor to consider by the world's buyers. The G6 international telecommunication protocol. My guess is, after the Huawei G5 controversy, this could go to the ISO international legal framework. China is way ahead in G6 R&D. With G6 satellite bandwidth one can be able to pilot a Cargo ship from the office like a drone. A pilot at the local port to leave the harbor, a pilot at the company head office to sail on the high sea, and a pilot at the destination harbor to berth the ship. And all that without having to deal with the Starlink proprietary protocol that is subject to the US Court System for any international dispute.

The Russians can jam it.

[@bjorntorlarsson]

You have to be above it to jam it, since in contrast to GPS the receivers use interferometry to focus on the satellite that at the moment is most optimal. And for Starlink a single satellite is enough, 40+ years old GPS requires line-of-sigth to multiple satellites at once, and the more spread out over the sky the better for positioning, but also more vulnerable for jamming.

[@do-minglum630]

Thank you for this analysis. The Chinese deficit in reusable launcher technology will hold back some elements of research and innovation until they catch up. This will be an area of strategic importance to allow orbital infrastructure to be maintained as well as to support new initiatives. In terms of national interest, having a low-cost-to-orbit capability dwarfs something like Beidou. Beidou matches outside capability, brings a particular technology in-house. But launcher reuse and supporting infrastructure supports future initiatives, including the maintenance of critical components like Beidou itself.

Tesla in an Elon Musk company. Its purpose is to build vehicles useable on Mars, i.e. electric vehicles since there's no oxygen atmosphere, or oil, there for combution engines to work. Tesla's ugly pickup is designed to be equipped for use on Mars. Everything Elon Musk does serves to colonize Mars. Solar power, batteries, electric vehicles because nuclear power is too regulated by government. He cares not for the climate doomsday fraud, or why doesn't he go for wind power too? Because wind power is useless on Mars! Starlink because radio communication is much easier with satellites than with wires or local transmitters on the ground, on Mars. The Boring compay because it is much easier to construct housing structures by boring into crater ridges or down into the ground, than to construct buildings as on Earth. Just take a look at the ridiculous amount of different inputs and professions are involved when building a house on Earth! All of which are scarce on Mars. So drill baby drill! Hyperloop to get experience with near-vacum engineering, as is the conditions on Mars with on average 0.6% of the atmospheric density of Earth at sea level. He has gotten into Twitter and politics. That's because Twitter is a vertical integration for Starlink, content for the infrastructure and for his coming everything-app, which will be useful also on Mars of course. And because the uneducated psychotic social liberal globalist madmen, and all of their evil zombie voters, try to stop his unique value creation for human kind. So he has to stop them first. He's doing whatever it takes to colonize Mars. He never wastes time on anything else.

I know the Chinese government is helping out a lot in providing fundings for research, but Chinese VCs (venture capitalists) need to be more adventurous and invest more in the areas where Chinese aeronautic/aerospace companies are still behind SpaceX - Kevin has named a few of those in the video like the re-useable rockets, etc. The world also needs an alternative to SpaceX, which is an American company. Who's to know if the American government one day orders SpaceX to do this or that to an American adversary. We've just seen the pager explosions in Gaza which de-cap a score of Hamas leaders, haven't we? American government didn't do this, but you know my drift.

Published Dec 28, 2021, 06:17 PM BEIJING (AFP) - Beijing on Tuesday (Dec 28) accused the United States of irresponsible and unsafe conduct in space over two "close encounters" between the Chinese space station and satellites operated by Mr Elon Musk's SpaceX. Tiangong, China's new space station, had to manoeuvre to avoid colliding with one Starlink satellite in July and with another in October, according to a note submitted by Beijing to the United Nations space agency this month. The note said the incidents "constituted dangers to the life or health of astronauts aboard the China Space Station". "The US... ignores its obligations under international treaties, posing a serious threat to the lives and safety of astronauts," Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said at a routine briefing on Tuesday. Starlink, a division of SpaceX, operates a constellation of close to 2,000 satellites that aims to provide Internet access to most parts of earth. SpaceX is a private American company, independent of the US military and civilian space agency NASA. But China said in its note to the UN that members of the Outer Space Treaty - the foundation of international space law - are also responsible for actions by their non-government entities. Yes, I would also like to receive SPH Media Group's SPH Media Limited, its related corporations and affiliates as well as their agents and authorised service providers. marketing and promotions. SpaceX has not responded to a request for comment. Evasive manoeuvres to reduce the risk of collisions in space are becoming more frequent as more objects enter Earth's orbit, said Dr Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics. "We've really noticed the increase in the number of close passes since Starlink started getting deployed," he told AFP. Any collision would likely "completely demolish" the Chinese space station and kill everyone on board, Dr McDowell added. : : :

China currently has a world-leading space program, world-leading telecom, commercial satellite phones, and mass production based on vertical integration. As with Beidou, High Speed Rail and every other high tech area, it's just a matter of time before China has automated factories mass-producing LEO telecom satellites.

Beidou can be launch from normal rocket but starlink can only be launch from reusable rocket

@@JoseMaria-dj6pc Starlink can launch from single-use rockets, but the cost would go up. Beidou can use newer resuable rockets as they become available

@@ZweiZwolf but spaceX Starship will be the holy grail, literally a freight train to space, could launch all sorts of things which were impossible before - size still matters for satellites, only Starship will able to launch a constellation of big size powerful satellites eg:Starlink V3
