Washington has been stepping up its high-tech blockade against China. America's descending technological iron curtain has further underscored the importance of indigenous technological advancement in key areas, which is imperative to China's national security and development.
BEIJING, June 23 -- China launched the last satellite of the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System on Tuesday, marking the completion of the country's independently developed orbital navigation network, and a landmark step of its peaceful exploration of space.

For many years, the European Union, Russia and others have all been working on their own projects. After 26 years of arduous work, the BDS has now earned a global reputation for its high-accuracy service and various service capabilities in positioning, navigation and timing, short message communication, and international search and rescue.
