China is making efforts to secure knowledge and goods of the Dutch space sector.

According to a report of the Netherlands Defence Intelligence and Security Service (DISS) regarding 2022, it is likely that some of these efforts circumvent export restrictions.

According to an analysis of the DISS, the number of satellite launches by China will increase in the coming years to 100 per annum. China will therefore further expand its military capabilities in space.
