The CCP has invested heavily in new satellite clusters, anti-satellite weapons, and electronic warfare packages designed to shut down America’s access to its own satellite network.

One cornerstone of China's space program is the Beidou Navigation Satellite system (BDS), a global navigation satellite system that provides positioning, navigation and timing, in addition to data communication. The People's Liberation Army created the program in order not to be dependent on the US-controlled GPS network.<ref>https://jamestown.org/program/the-beidou-satellite-network-and-the-space-silk-road-in-eurasia/</ref> The US-China Economic and Security Review Commission wrote in its 2019 Annual Report to Congress: "Beijing uses its space program to advance its terrestrial geopolitical objectives, including cultivating customers for the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)... China's promotion of... the Beidou global navigation system under its 'Space Silk Road' is deepening participants' reliance on China for space-based services."<ref>https://www.uscc.gov/sites/default/files/2019-11/Chapter%204%20Section%203%20-%20China%E2%80%99s%20Ambitions%20in%20Space%20-%20Contesting%20the%20Final%20Frontier.pdf</ref>
