Chinese Space Law: Problems and Areas of Reforming
Journal Title: Advanced Space Law - Year 2019, Vol 3, Issue
Abstract
In the article, we have determined that China is a leading, but the only space state that does not have a special space law. These activities are governed by the international norms-principles, international treaties and by-laws of the government. We consider that such a procedure for regulating legal relations in the space industry is illogical. We have revealed the contours of the future space law of China in the article. We’ve noted that the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding on Space Cooperation with Luxembourg will have a positive impact on the exploration and utilization of mineral resources from the Moon and asteroids by Chinese space companies. At the same time, we have concluded that without the adoption of a special space law, foreign investments in the Chinese space industry and space tourism will be constrained.
