What they say

Wang Mingliang, professor at the Air Force Command College

The world's leading military powers have been equipped with technologies (that integrate air and space) and have even begun weaponizing outer space to seek a commanding height in international strategic competition. China has made remarkable progress in air and space technologies, but it still lags behind the leading military powers and just focuses on serving the economy and society, including providing communication and monitoring.
