Chinese Academy of Engineering Academician Liu Jingnan: Beidou is not the "Chinese version of GPS". It has unique capabilities and wide applications.

On April 1st, Securities Times interviewed Liu Jingnan, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, professor at Wuhan University, and director of the National Satellite Navigation System Engineering Technology Research Center. Liu Jingnan said that Beidou is not the "Chinese version of GPS", Beidou is Beidou. It has taken a completely different technological route from GPS and has developed unique capabilities that GPS does not have. The wide range of applications and deep penetration of China's Beidou system is unmatched globally. From the electronic fences of shared bikes, route navigation for food delivery riders, precise timing for high-speed rail control systems, time synchronization for power systems, to applications in ocean fishing, precision agriculture, disaster monitoring, and smart cities, Beidou has already integrated into various aspects of the national economy. What is most pleasing is that Beidou is giving birth to a new batch of applications such as "Beidou + low-altitude economy" and "Beidou + intelligent connected vehicles".
