“…China (Dragon) has made great progress in space and taken its place as a tier-one space faring nations with its manned space capabilities and pursuing full-spectrum space programs like the manned space program, rocket design and ASAT capabilities (Khan & Khan, 2015). Dragon primary threat is Eagle (U.S) due to its offensive behaviour and interference in Asia.…”

During the last few decades, space has gained extensive importance in many aspects of military operations. The 'Star Wars' started in military competition and is still a main component of military. Today Eagle is sole super power of the world and space as well but this position is not sure in future due to Dragon rising, as global power in both hard and soft power. A strong example of this doctrine was Dragon ASAT test in January 2007, which was a clear wakeup call for Eagle and greatly influenced the security and military capabilities of the Eagle and rest of the world as well. India is also investing huge amount on its space program and singed a bilateral agreement with U.S and Israel to establish collaboration in the both civilian and military space program and nuclear deal as well. This space cooperation and nuclear deal has deeply affected the security environment of South Asia and opened the eyes of both China and Pakistan. A new 'Star Wars' between Eagle and Dragon is also the base of South Asian space race that is a disaster for the peace and security of South Asia and would make dangerous zone of the world. Therefore, Pakistan must accept and deal with the reality that conflicts and wars in today's world will be driven by the increasing interdependence between conventional, nuclear, and space war. The terms in this article Eagle & Dragon refer U.S & China: Eagle refers for U.S and Dragon for China.

“…The Chinese space programme is studied against the backdrop of an increasingly competitive geopolitical international system and an evolving treaty system governing outer space -Chinese fledgling space capabilities are seen in the context of commercialisation, militarisation and geopolitical rivalry in space.3 But Beijing's 'space diplomacy' can also be described as part of a growing portfolio of Chinese science diplomacy across different disciplinary fields and the associated need to make sense of the ramifications of China's growing scientific output that made it a member of the group of scientifically leading countries.4 We use the following definition here: space diplomacy refers to the formal and informal 1 This research was partially funded by the Return Program of the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, research group 'Infrastructures of China's Modernity and Their Global Constitutive Effects' . 2 Khan and Khan 2015;Li et al 2019. 3 Pekkanen 2019Hickman 2019;Freeland 2016, 35.…”

China’s Bifurcated Space Diplomacy and Institutional Density

This article compares two central pillars of China’s space programme and observes that Chinese space diplomacy is not uniform regarding international scientific co-operation either in its approaches or in results. In the case of the Chinese Space Station programme, the China National Space Administration went through existing United Nations (UN) channels and successfully attracted international partners. However, the International Lunar Research Station has avoided UN channels and used national and bilateral platforms. This bifurcation in approaches and results offers an intriguing puzzle concerning international co-operation: practices of institutionalised multilateral co-operation and areas of state-centric bilateral co-operation co-exist in this case and further complicate the issue of space diplomacy. To propose a potential explanation, it is argued here that a crucial intermediate variable — institutional density — requires further theorising, as it seems to influence strategic choices about space diplomacy, which may lead to success or failure.

“…In 2014, DOD's annual report went on to assert that Beijing has invested in advanced space capabilities including satellite communications, ISR, satellite navigation, and meteorology along with manned, unmanned, and interplanetary space exploration. This investment also incorporates a large ground infrastructure supporting spacecraft and space launch vehicle manufacture and launch, command and control, and data downlink [34]. China also seeks to use space systems for establishing real-time and accurate surveillance, reconnaissance, and warning systems, and to enhance joint operations command and control.…”
