As demand accelerates for satellite connectivity and AI in space, China's push into orbital computing is showing new momentum.

Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense has released select non-classified details of a special military procurement package totaling NT$1.25 trillion (approx. US$39.5 billion), offering a clearer picture of a strategic shift from conventional warfare toward technology-driven operations.

Since the start of 2026, China's commercial space sector has once again emerged as a focal point for both capital markets and industrial players. On one front, major Chinese banks have completed the launch of dedicated or jointly operated satellites, formally integrating satellite applications into financial risk management and digital operations. On another, privately owned aerospace companies are accelerating their push toward initial public offerings, underscoring how commercial spaceflight is moving more rapidly toward both capital-market validation and real-world applications.
