In space exploration, China is the largest competitor of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). China plans to land its astronauts on the moon 2036, and then land on Mars. Chinese President Xi Jinping hopes that such space missions will breed China's innovation wave in robotics, aviation and artificial intelligence and other leading technologies in the 21st century.
According to Wu Ji, director of the China National Space Science Center, the Chinese government is now evaluating the investment in space science research by a factor of two. They hope that the progress made in building new telescopes, observing the Earth's water cycle and improving satellite navigation will inject vitality into state-owned enterprises and encourage the establishment of private enterprises. Wu Ji said: "China has always relied on the knowledge discovered by others. If China wants to revitalize the economy, it will need to invest more resources to develop pioneering technology."
Wu and dozens of researchers have requested the central government to increase the investment in space science from 4.7 billion yuan in 2011-2015 to at least 15.6 billion yuan in 2026-2030. Although this figure still lags behind NASA's budget of about 5.6 billion US dollars, China invested zero in this area 10 years ago. At that time, the Chinese government invested in projects that were politically significant or immediate, such as rockets, military satellites, and manned spacecraft.
The amount of space investment in China is not known, but it is clear that some American analysts worry that China will accelerate its progress as NASA brakes. Jean-Jacques Dordan, former director of the European Space Agency, said: "Space science research is very important to China. Space is no longer only related to the government and space enthusiasts. It has been fully integrated into the economy." "We only started." Wu Ji said, "This is a great undertaking. Nothing can stop China from becoming a space power."
