China will step up satellite application and its integration with emerging Internet industries to promote economic development.
China has built a complete aerospace industry with almost 60 years of development. More than 130 satellites are operating stably in orbit.
The country will bolster the integration of Internet services and the application of satellites to expand the industrial scale of satellites for communication, navigation and remote sensing.
Private companies will be encouraged to participate in providing satellite services.
China will also enhance cooperation with other countries and promote sharing of satellite data.

China's online healthcare market is estimated to be worth 17 billion yuan, roughly 2-and-a-half billion U.S. dollars, this year.
An industry report reveals that last year, it was worth 11 billion yuan, indicating strong growth momentum.
Medical and healthcare services are not evenly distributed in China, with 80 percent of them in big cities. Hospitals in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou are notoriously crowded, as patients across the country swarm to visit experienced doctors.
Companies including "Spring Rain" and "Kingdee" are wading into the online market to make health care more accessible.
The Kingdee Healthcare and Medical Software Technology Company launched "M-health", or Mobile Internet Health service, last year. It has forged a partnership with 160 hospitals by August.
Within a year since it went online, the company has had more than 1.3 million subscribers and served more than 100 million patients. The number of transactions on the platform hit more than 2.5 million.
The "Spring Rain" says online healthcare will become more popular due to good service and convenience.
