Last year, the U.S. company NanoRacks which "operates the only commercial laboratory in outer space", flew the first Chinese experiment to the ISS. On 21 February 2018, NanoRacks CEO Jeffrey Manber made a strong statement before the National Space Council:

... "Finally, as I look overseas, the United States cannot simply ignore China’s commercial space ambitions. China is quietly developing a robust commercial space industry. I say quietly because Americans are blinded by our own regulations, and mindset, from participation.

Large Chinese companies are creating commercial launch efforts while young Chinese entrepreneurs are raising funds from Silicon Valley to Hong Kong. On a governmental level, the European Space Agency has astronauts training to visit the planned Chinese space station. But the United States is barred. NanoRacks and others are limited on what we can sell in this marketplace.
 
Avoiding this emerging marketplace, albeit due to justified concerns over technology transfer and other legitimate challenges, is not the American global leadership that we strive to achieve.
 
Now, while my time today is brief, I urge us to negotiate a stern but fair agreement with China, and allow U.S. businesses to do what we do best: innovate and compete better than anyone else."

China will establish a constellation of more than 300 low-orbit satellites to provide global communication services, the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) announced 23 February. The first satellite of the Hongyan constellation is set to be launched this year, CASC said. The Hongyan constellation, announced during last year's 3rd China Commercial Aerospace Forum in Wuhan, is composed of more than 300 satellites, along with data processing centers, and will be built in three stages. Once completed, the satellite communication network will take the place of the ground-based network and allow a mobile phone to be connected everywhere on the planet, either in a remote desert or at sea, according to CASC.

China will accelerate research and commercial use of rocket upper stages, a carrier rocket official said on 23 January. "The Yuanzheng rocket upper stage family will have a new member, Yuanzheng-1S, this year, serving launches for low and medium Earth orbit satellites," said Wang Mingzhe, an upper stage architect of the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT). Wang Mingzhe said there is growing demand for putting upper stages into commercial use, such as using them as launch vehicles to send small payloads into low and medium orbits. The new model Yuanzheng-1S will be a simplified version to cater to these needs.

The details of China’s early programme to launch dogs into space more than half a century ago were revealed last week in an article published on social media by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. To usher in the Year of the Dog, the academy, which oversaw the programme, said it wanted to “commemorate their legendary journey into the sky”.
