Budget, policy, and source documents for China

By 2025, the added value of strategic emerging industries will account for more than 17% of GDP; industrial added value is expected to exceed 17 trillion yuan, with aerospace equipment and satellite application industry listed among the key industries.

This is the planned total added value target for strategic emerging industries during 2021-2025, within which the plan explicitly lists aerospace equipment and the satellite application industry as key sectors rather than a dedicated budget line for space alone.

Industrial and Information Technology Ministry 2021 total revenue and expenditure budget: 7,389,566.97 ten-thousand yuan.

This is the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's total 2021 departmental budget, a broad organizational topline that includes aerospace-related functions within the ministry but is not a space-only appropriation.

Industrial and Information Technology Ministry 2021 fiscal appropriation revenue and expenditure total budget: 2,066,055.67 ten-thousand yuan.

This is the ministry's 2021 fiscal appropriation envelope from public budgets and carryover, an organizational funding row that includes aerospace-related responsibilities but is not limited to space.

Total 2025 budget of Lhasa Municipal CPPCC Office

This is the full 2025 annual budget of the Lhasa Municipal CPPCC Office; it appeared in retrieval noise and is not a space activity funding item for China’s national space sector.

Phase IV of the Lunar Exploration Program

This means lunar exploration was not just a legacy program but an active state priority for follow-on missions, technology validation, and preparatory capability building toward sustained lunar activity.

National Civil Space Infrastructure Medium- and Long-Term Development Plan (2015-2025)

This establishes nationwide space infrastructure as a core state priority and frames remote sensing, communications broadcasting, and navigation positioning as enduring strategic capabilities to be expanded and modernized through 2025.

National Civil Space Infrastructure Medium- and Long-Term Development Plan (2015-2025)

This indicates that sovereign satellite communications capacity is a standing national priority, embedded alongside remote sensing and navigation as a foundational space-enabled public-service and strategic support capability.

National Civil Space Infrastructure Medium- and Long-Term Development Plan (2015-2025)

This means Earth observation is not a peripheral application area but a nationally planned capability family intended to provide global, multi-resolution, operational remote-sensing services across civilian sectors.

navigation and PNT

This shows that PNT is both a sovereign infrastructure priority and an application-expansion priority, with policy emphasis shifting from basic system completion to economy-wide scale use and integrated spatiotemporal services.

Private and enterprise participation in space systems and applications

China supports private capital investment in satellite development and system construction, and supports enterprises in value-added product development, operations services, and industrialized application promotion.

Integrated space-ground system development

China will develop space and ground systems in an integrated manner, with synchronized planning, R&D, construction, and use.

International development and export of space systems and services

China will encourage international development, participate in international rules and standards setting, expand international cooperation in R&D, satellite development, system construction, and data applications, and promote exports of satellites, data, and application services.

Civil satellite frequency and orbital resource management

China will establish a coordinated application and reserve mechanism for civil satellite frequency and orbital resources.

Satellite remote sensing data openness and government purchase policy

China will formulate national satellite remote sensing data policy, establish government purchasing policies for commercial satellite remote sensing data and services, and gradually open civil satellite remote sensing data better than 0.5-meter resolution.
