Prague, March 28, 2025 — The Czech Republic has blocked a Chinese investment in a satellite project, citing concerns about national security and the risk of espionage. The government’s decision reflects broader security concerns, similar to its earlier actions restricting Huawei’s role in 5G infrastructure.
Czech intelligence services have previously flagged attempts by China to engage in technological espionage within the defense sector. This move underscores a growing trend across Europe of carefully scrutinizing Chinese investments in critical infrastructure to safeguard national security.
