China is focusing on exporting space infrastructure to bolster military and commercial space relationships, particularly in Africa. An article from China Defense Conversion, linked to the PLA, highlights the need for military-civil coordination in space technology.

The PLA is likely directing the 'commercial' space sector to serve military interests. This includes using satellite imagery for political warfare and leveraging space technology sales to African partners, aligning with the Belt and Road Initiative. Notably, Namibia hosts a space tracking station supporting China's manned missions.
