China is exporting space infrastructure to enhance its military and commercial capabilities, especially targeting Africa. An article from China Defense Conversion advocates for military-civil coordination in space technology, suggesting that the PLA is already directing the commercial space sector to serve military interests.

Recent activities include using satellite imagery from Mizarvision for political warfare against U.S. military actions. The PLA is also expected to gain dual-use benefits from space technology sales to African nations, particularly through initiatives like the Belt and Road. Notably, Namibia's space tracking station supports China's manned space missions.
