China has the biggest population on the Earth and produces cheap products for any Tech Giants such as Apple, Samsung, etc. To increase its horizon into space, the Chinese government had proposed a Five Year Plan which marks many Firsts for China and the world in an attempt to transform China into a Space Superpower. 

"China's Space Activites in 2016", the White Paper released by the Chinese Government explains these activities in space in 2016 and the upcoming plans in next five years. I4U News stated that the agenda of the Chinese Government is to work with other global countries in outer space with peaceful co-existence and its promotion. The Chinese Space Agencies had been informed to achieve what's prescribed in the White Papers in the stipulated timeframe.

Xi Jinping, the President of China was reported stating that he wants to China to be a huge space power or behemoth and that the Chinese government will pay the cost of all activities. China's space program has lately gained speed, however, Russia and U.S.A are already in outer space guarding and operating on ISS. 

The White Paper suggests that China has plans to land a probe in the farthest corner of the Moon which is yet to discover. It also includes the launch of a probe on Mars by 2020. Voice of America further propounded that as per the official statement released by the White Paper, the five-year plan has been devised to explore the cosmos and that China will use it for peaceful purposes. The Paper also claims that China wants to be a space power by the end of its five-year space program.

China's space program is gaining potential after few successful attempts such as when two astronauts were sent to China's Tiangong 2 experimental space station, China has plans to build a full-fledged space station in next six years. In 2013, China's spacecraft was sent to the Moon where it made the first soft landing since the 1970s.

Chinese Agencies have also launched astronauts for the spacewalk and many other events took place in China's space program.The Five-Year Plan gone well, it will push China aside from the space superpowers like Russia and the United States.
