""The Chinese government announced plans to launch over 12,000 satellites in the coming years. 12,000 government Chinese satellites. US government launched 200.""
Ian Cinnamon says China has announced plans for more than 12,000 government satellites over the coming years, contrasting it with what he describes as roughly 200 satellites launched by the US government last year. He presents the comparison as a manufacturing-and-capacity challenge for the US and its allies, beyond the commercial Starlink constellation.
