China state security ministry said foreign spy intelligence agencies have been trying to steal secrets from the country’s space program as the arms race in space intensifies and emerges as a new “battlefield for military struggle.”.
Safeguarding space security had become a key strategy for China’s future survival and development, the ministry said in a post on its official WeChat account on Wednesday. ”In recent years, some Western countries have formed space combat forces, exercised space action capabilities, and even regarded China as a major competitor in the space field,” it said.

Foreign spy intelligence agencies had also conducted remote sensing detection against China through high-precision satellites, intending to observe and steal secrets from China from space.
Competition for space resources was becoming “increasingly tense,” space exploration faced a shortage of orbital and spectrum resources, and abandoned satellites and rocket debris increased the risk of collisions.
China’s lunar strategy includes its first astronaut landing around 2030 in a program that counts Russia as a partner. In 2020, China conducted its first lunar sample return mission with Chang’e-5, retrieving samples from the moon’s nearer side.
In June, China landed an uncrewed spacecraft on the far side of the moon, overcoming a key hurdle in its landmark mission to retrieve the world’s first rock and soil samples from the dark lunar hemisphere.
Its space agency has set 2035 as the date by which a “basic station” on the moon’s south pole will be built, with a moon-orbiting space station added by 2045.
