China pursuing state objectives in astropolitics

The creation of specialised space forces by nations such as the United States, Russia, India, Japan, France, Australia and China has marked a major shift in astropolitics. While countries like the United States have established these divisions purely for military purposes, China's Aerospace Force, established to support its five armed services, is set to provide assistance for both military and civilian activities. This approach demonstrates China's desire to pursue the party-state's longstanding objectives in the new domain of space.
