China’s BeiDou vs. GPS: Who Will Control the Future of Navigation?
Taiwan primarily relies on the United States for its civilian and military GPS services, but China’s satellite navigation capabilities are expanding fast. We speak with Ankit Bhateja, Founder and Director of Xovian Aerospace, to understand the rise of China’s BeiDou system, satellite warfare, GPS jamming and what the global navigation race means for Taiwan’s security. We also follow Taiwan’s Baishatun Mazu pilgrimage to see how GPS tracking is helping devotees track one of the nation’s most remarkable and unpredictable religious traditions. Host: Divya Gopalan
