On September 13, 2026, at the Pujiang Innovation Forum - Space Computing Industry Ecosystem Forum, Academician Wu Jiangxing, a distinguished member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, underscored the significance of the VLEO ultra-low orbit (ranging from 200 to 350 kilometers above the Earth's surface) as the ultimate strategic new resource stratum in Earth's space domain. He highlighted that the years spanning from 2026 to 2030 constitute a pivotal juncture for China to pursue alternative developmental pathways. During this crucial period, China must accomplish a seamless shift from technological experimentation to widespread deployment. Failing to do so would result in the forfeiture of opportunities to secure vital orbital and spectral resources, as well as the chance to influence the establishment of international standards, ultimately relegating China to a position of reactive pursuit rather than proactive leadership.
