Beijing – China has completed its preparations to build an independent system against the Starlink Satellite Internet Network built by leading American entrepreneur Elon Musk’s SpaceX company. Its name is ‘Guawang Network’; under this, 30 satellites will be launched into space by the end of the year. These satellites have been produced by China’s ‘Innovation Academy for Microsatellites’. At the same time, it has been revealed that Chinese researchers are developing a new microwave weapon to penetrate satellites in Starlink.
Musk’s ‘SpaceX’ company has launched nearly 3,000 small satellites into space. These satellites travelling in the Earth’s orbit (low orbit) can provide high-speed internet services to every corner of the world. Musk has planned an ambitious plan to launch nearly 40,000 small satellites into Earth’s orbit under ‘Starlink’. In December last year, Musk announced a new plan called ‘StarShield’. Under it, the US government will be provided with satellites for military and other security missions.
Besides, disturbed by Elon Musk’s new plan, China has accelerated the creation of an independent network of satellites. Therefore, satellites that challenge Starlink have been manufactured and preparations are being made to launch them by the end of the year, according to Chinese sources. China will launch a total of 12,992 satellites into space under the ‘Guangwang Network’. Moreover, China’s ‘People’s Liberation Army’ will control this entire network. During last year’s Russia-Ukraine conflict, the Russian defence forces destroyed the satellite communication and internet-providing system. At that time, the US Department of Defense instructed Musk to provide the services of his Starlink network to the Ukrainian military. For this, Musk has spent more than ten million dollars so far. Although Starlink was built for civilian use, it was effectively used by the Ukrainian military to launch attacks against Russia.
