Description:
|
This report examines the objectives behind Beijings decision to develop the system as an alternative to GPS, its efforts to build an industry around the system, and the effects this might have in security, economic, and diplomatic terms for the United States. The systems primary purpose is to end Chinas military reliance on GPS, although Chinas associated industrial policies will likely affect U.S. firms operating in Chinas market. Industry professionals assess there are no inherent risks to products such as smartphones receiving data from Beidou.
