China published its first space situation report on Thursday, designed to keep policymakers better informed and to protect the country's space interests.

The Space Situational Assessment Report "aims to serve policymakers in their making and implementation of strategies and policies that concern national space security", Xie Zebing, a senior researcher at the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology, said at a news conference on Thursday.
