The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) allegedly brought its military replacement for the Global Positioning System (GPS) into full operation in the course of just over four months. It now plans to promote the technology first among nearby countries, then globally by 2020.

GPS, run by the U.S. government, had a nearly $56 billion economy in 2015, according to GPS World. The CCP is now attempting to tap into this market.
