SpaceX's Starlink already has nearly 7,000 operational satellites in orbit and serves around 5 million customers in more than 100 countries.

China is aiming for a similar scale and hopes to have around 38,000 satellites across three of its low earth orbit internet projects.

China could see this as almost like a differentiator, experts say.

Having a proprietary satellite internet constellation is increasingly becoming a national security necessity.
