China's efforts to compete with SpaceX's Starlink by launching its own massive satellite internet constellation are facing significant setbacks. Despite plans to deploy up to 15,000 satellites by 2030, China's networks have launched less than 1 percent of their target, largely due to rocket shortages and competition for launch resources. The delays threaten China's goal of achieving global internet coverage and challenging SpaceX's dominance in low-Earth orbit. These issues have become a national concern, as China prioritizes catching up in the new space race. Meanwhile, other countries like India are making advances in their own space sectors.
