  I believe a major impetus for the creation on Beidou was the weaponization of GPS by the US government against a Chinese cargo ship that the US suspected of carrying illegal cargo.  Even though the ship was inspected by the US and nothing illegal was discovered, the US continued to withhold access to GPS, and the cargo ship was left stranded.

  China cannot  rely on the warmongers policy , the warmongers  within the EU ,NATO USA  are imposing sanctions  against China because  of the progress they have made in different fields .They are spreading propaganda, twisting the reality ,baseless accusations  against China since years,they tried to isolate them.

  Hello? You totally omitted the 1993 Yinhe incident where US gov disabled civilian GPS signals for Chinese container ship Yinhe 1993. It was not a could be or possible threat, it happened. That's why China built Beidou to make sure it will never be sabotaged by US ever again.

  It's just too risky for countries to be completely reliant on the technologies of other countries especially the US which is already infamous for weaponisng their financial and tech sector to destroy countries that refuse to serve their interests or are deemed as obstacles to its absolute world dominance

  Glonass and Baidou have always been global ..... you need about 24 satellites ...... which both Russia and China have ..... and they have a few &quot;spares&quot; in orbit as well as more &quot;spares&quot; on the ground for launch within days .... <br>in fact Glonass and Baidou are linked now ...

  Military personnels carrying mobile phones would expose their strategic location to the country controlling the gps. Locations in the seas is more obvious they are military pers. In particular submarines.

  Incase people don&apos;t know: GPS=Global Positioning System. There&apos;s no such thing as a GPS that is not global. If it&apos;s not global it should be called LPS(Local Positioning System)

  That&apos;s not the real story why China built its own navigation system...

  Iran is proof of the vulnerability in relying on satellite technology of an adversary, when Iran in 2025 switched to China from America. Now Chinese technology is providing Iran with the means to hit US bases.

  So this REPORT, forgets to mention the 1993 Yinhe Incident. &nbsp;US shut off GPS to a Chinese cargo ship with it suspected of supplying Iran.<br><br>The Inspection Results:<br>No chemical weapons: A joint inspection team consisting of Saudi and U.S. personnel searched the Chinese container ship Yinhe at the Saudi port of Dammam.<br>No precursor chemicals: The search found zero trace of the suspected chemical weapons precursors—thiodiglycol and thionyl chloride—that U.S. intelligence claimed were bound for Iran<br><br>Refusal to apologize: <br>The U.S. government admitted the intelligence was wrong but refused to issue a formal apology, stating it had acted in &quot;good faith&quot; based on multiple intelligence sources
