According to a release from the organisation, the CASC remains committed “to the guidance of Xi Jinping’s new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics”.
Dubbed Implementing the Thought of Strengthening the Army and Persisting in the Development of ‘Three Highs’ and Successfully Completing the 2023 Model Research and Production Tasks, the report outlines the key priorities for the year, including:

In early 2022, the CCP’s State Council Information Office released a white paper documenting the country’s goals for the space industry.
“It [China] will start a new journey towards a space power,” said the writers of the white paper.
“The space industry will contribute more to China’s growth as a whole, to global consensus and common effort with regard to outer space exploration and utilisation, and to human progress.”

China outlined plans to upgrade the rockets towards non-toxic and pollution-free launch amid the rising concerns over space debris, with such innovations already spearheaded by the United States and Europe.
“In the next five years, China will continue to improve the capacity and performance of its space transport system, and move faster to upgrade launch vehicles,” the white paper stated.
“It will further expand the launch vehicle family, send into space new-generation manned carrier rockets and high-thrust solid-fuel carrier rockets, and speed up the R&D of heavy-lift launch vehicles.”
