“The global power dynamics in space are shifting, fast. Just five years ago Russia and Europe dominated access to orbit. Today, the US and China collectively accounted for 80% of total orbital launches in 2023 and 75% of total funding in the space economy over the past decade. But, due to geopolitical tensions, we know very little about each other.” — Chad Anderson, Managing Partner At our recent Space Capital Summit, we hosted a conversation with global experts to peek over the wall and explore the innovation happening in the Chinese space economy: https://lnkd.in/g94p5tPN
