China will always abide by international space law and is making great efforts to introduce its own laws in 2020, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) said on November 17.

Xu Dazhe, Director of the CNSA, told the 2014 Workshop on Space Law in Beijing that the country has already made policies and regulations in the administration of civil space launches, registration of satellites and reduction and prevention of space debris.

"A space law has been listed in the national legislation plan, and the CNSA is drafting the law," said Tian Yulong, Secretary General of the CNSA.

China has made rapid development in space exploration and now is rushing to establish basic infrastructure in outer space, including remote sensing, communication and navigation.
