Description:
Why has China pursued expensive and attention-grabbing space capabilities with limited material payoffs? This presentation focuses on a case study of Chinaâs early
space ambitions in Mao-era China (1949-1976). It argues that Chinaâs technonationalist narrative has driven Chinese leaders to prioritize markers of prestige and technological might. It then discusses broader lessons for understanding Chinaâs space ambitions
today. R. Lincoln Hines is a political scientist and Assistant Professor at the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, Georgia Institute of Technology.
