Ban on Starlink: China says Musk’s SpaceX national security threat; What China fears

Chinese authorities have penalized a foreign vessel for illegally using Starlink, Elon Musk’s satellite internet service, within its waters. Banned in China due to national security concerns and lack of operating licenses, Starlink’s overseas gateway routing is seen as a threat to strategic interests. China aims to counter this perceived monopoly by developing its own reusable rocket technology.
