The Relationship between Yinhe Incident and Beidou

The birth of Beidou is related to the galactic event.

In Beidou system, there is a very common problem. GPS system has been able to carry out high-precision global positioning. So why make great efforts to independently develop Beidou system?

Let's take a look at the research and development background of Beidou. The 1990s was the most difficult period in China, and it was a painful experience to learn from it. In the 1990s, three historical events were called the three great shames of China. 1993 Galaxy Incident, 1996 Taiwan Strait Incident, 1999 Museum Bombing Incident. The birth of Beidou is related to the galactic event.

The Galaxy incident occurred in July and September of 1993. "Yinhe" is a container liner belonging to China Ocean Shipping Corporation and Guangzhou Ocean Shipping Company in the Middle East. The fixed route is Tianjin Xingang-Shanghai-Hong Kong-Singapore-Jakarta-Dubai-Dammam-Kuwait.

On July 23, the United States claimed to have conclusive evidence, accusing the cargo ship "Yinhe" of carrying thiodiglycol and thionyl chloride, which can make chemical weapons, and transporting it to bandar abbas. The United States sent warships and planes to track and monitor the galaxy and asked it to return. The "Yinhe" was intercepted and detained by American warships on the international high seas in the Indian Ocean for three weeks. The official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who handled this matter in those days used 17 coward in an interview.

Just like the history of many projects, the birth of Beidou was also a sad part of that era. In the cowardly Yinhe incident, it was because of the sudden interruption of GPS signal that the Yinhe could not drive, so it had to be inspected by Americans. "Weak countries have no diplomacy", and from that time, China people began to realize that the right to speak in the global positioning system must not be given to others. You must do this by yourself!

At that time, China was seeking to join the WTO, and everything liked internationalization. Also deeply discriminated by the United States, want to have their own satellite positioning system. The EU immediately took a fancy to China's money. The European Union is divided, eight heads decide sixteen directions, and the only thing they can do is cheat money! China not only failed to enter Galileo's decision-making body, but also was blocked by the obstacles deliberately set by the European Space Agency in technical cooperation and development, except that he was robbed of nearly $654.38 billion!
