This thread is dedicated to China's mega-constellation Starnet, also known as Guowang.
China’s response to Starlink first became apparent in 2020 in filings for 13,000 satellites with the International Telecommunication Union in Geneva. Beijng followed up by designating “satellite internet” a national “new infrastructure” project and establishing the high-level, state-owned China Satellite Network Group in 2021 to oversee the constellation project known as “Guowang.”
