The Celestial Empire is preparing for new communication standards by implementing rules for the use of the satellite network.
China's State Internet Administration has published draft new rules for satellite broadband internet with a focus on national security and censorship.
The regulations govern the provision of satellite services and the use of equipment that supports direct connection to satellites in China. An important place in the document is given to the control over the content of information. The use of terminal equipment for direct connection to satellites for the dissemination of information that:
Manufacturers and suppliers of equipment must ensure the safety of devices and monitor their use. They are obliged to cooperate with the authorities in preventing illegal activities and provide information about users if they find a violation of the law.
Terminal equipment subject to regulation includes both portable and stationary civilian devices, as well as terminals on vehicles such as aircraft, ships and cars. Any device that allows access to satellite communication systems for voice, text messages, and data is subject to the rules.
In addition, the provision of direct satellite connection services requires mandatory obtaining of appropriate licenses and approval from the authorities. Companies are required to locate their infrastructure (ground stations, data processing systems) within China and not allow data to be transmitted to overseas satellite stations without permission.
The project also encourages the use of satellite services to improve connectivity in hard-to-reach areas, as well as to respond to emergencies and natural disasters. The document emphasizes the need to establish standards and regulatory mechanisms to ensure the proper functioning of satellite services, respecting the principles of development and security in the country.

- provokes a split in the country or disrupts public order;
- promotes terrorism, extremism, physical violence or pornography;
