The Downlink [May 31, 25] Space Money: A Fighting Irishman Walks Into A Boardroom With The PRC
This week’s episode details what happened when the CEO of a European-US space company bought into a shareholder fight involving two Chinese government-backed entities, that are deeply involved with the Thousand Sails mega-constellation – China’s answer to Starlink. This is a deep dive into lawfare in the space domain, a growing costly concern for the U.S. and its Allies. Laura Winter speaks with Declan Ganley, CEO of Rivada Space Networks; and Dean Cheng, a sought after China-U.S. relations expert, and non-resident fellow at both the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies and the George Washington University Space Policy Institute.
