And there you have it! Seems confirmation of the "Guowang" (GW/国网) from Bao Weimin of #CASC/#CAS from the sidelines of the NPC.

No details other than "we will build a GW", but official recognition is big news @larrypress @Megaconstellati

For context: Guowang is the long rumored major Chinese #LEO #broadband #constellation.

To now, the firmest evidence we had was several ITU filings (see tweet below), but with confirmation from Bao, we can now assume the project is "official"

An indication of sentiment in China about the project--Chinese #IFC WeChat group where the announcement was posted:

First message: Screenshot confirming Guowang
Second message: Finally it was officially announced

#OpenSecret 🇨🇳🛰️
