China's Position on Strengthening Outer Space Governance: Regulating Commercial Space Activities

On October 23, China released its position paper titled "China's Position on Strengthening Outer Space Governance." The document proposes regulating commercial space activities. While encouraging the development of the outer space economy, it emphasizes the need to establish and improve a national regulatory framework to ensure that commercial space enterprises strictly comply with relevant domestic and international laws when conducting outer space activities. These enterprises must not infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of other countries, particularly by avoiding illegal involvement in other nations' armed conflicts and internal affairs.
