Ban on Starlink: China says Musk's SpaceX national security threat; What China fears

Banned in China due to national security concerns and lack of operating licenses, Starlink's overseas gateway routing is seen as a threat to strategic interests. China aims to counter this perceived monopoly by developing its own reusable rocket technology.
