This volume explains the beginnings and expansion of China's space
program, analyzing how China is now able to hold such ambitions and
how the interaction between technology, politics and economics has
influenced the Chinese space program. It opens by tracing out the
earlier development of the space program and identifying the
successes and problems that plagued this initial effort, later
focusing upon its development over the past decade and into the
future. As China is now able to reach into outer space with its
machines and, since 2003, with its humans, the authors examine how
this move from a non-participant status to a state operating at the
highest level of space activities has confirmed its potential place
as the new economic and military superpower of the twenty-first
century. They also demonstrate how recent successes mean that China
is now confronted by an issue previously encountered by other space
'powers', such as the United States and the former Soviet Union:
what is the value of the space program, given its high costs and
likelihood of dramatic failure? Chinese Space Policy will be of
great interest to students of space studies, Chinese politics,
security studies, and international relations in general.
