You moron, a large country like China needs to possess the technology of launching satellites. I already gave you many examples of commercial uses of satellites. The technology was already there sinc ...

Doh~ Do your homework sin la~
China has long possess the technology for launching satellites -- they had the technology since the early 70's! If the Chinese aerospace program had the purpose you described, developments would have been far smaller, far simpler, and far less expensive than they are right now.
From what I can see, China's aerospace goals at the moment is to reliably launch and retrieve man-ed spacecrafts into orbit and back. Once the skills and technology are mastered, the primary applications will most likely be military in nature. As with all things "state-of-the-art" and military (state-of-the-art is in quotes b/c this is 40 year old US technology already), China's aerospace programs are literally money pits and financial black holes.
My stance is that the money could be much better spent by using it on practical infrastructure projects, education, healthcare, environmental protection, etc. that will actually bring practical and visible benefits to the average citizen. Investing in these categories will bring far greater benefits to China, in terms of quality of life, quality of people, the economy, etc.
China already has nuclear firearms. There is really no need to go any further than that in terms of advanced military equipment. Even if military developments were to proceed, the money could be better spent on improving the Chinese navy (and that's what the CCP has been doing as well).
