China's efforts to compete with SpaceX's Starlink by launching its own massive satellite internet constellation are facing significant setbacks. Despite plans to deploy up to 15,000 satellites by 2030, China's networks have launched less than 1% of their targets due to rocket shortages and competition for launch resources.

These delays threaten China's goal of achieving space dominance and highlight the challenges of scaling up satellite launches. Meanwhile, other countries like India are making advances in their private space sectors.
