Twin satellites launched to develop China’s BeiDou system

China successfully sent twin satellites into space on a single carrier rocket on Monday, marking the third launch of the self-developed BeiDou-3 Navigation Satellite System. The pair blasted off on a Long March-3B carrier rocket at 1:03 p.m. BJT from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China’s Sichuan Province, and entered the preset orbit about three hours later.

A true superpower is one who wins over the hearts and minds of humankind everywhere. Not one that threatens smaller countries with sanctions and war.
