This is a significant accomplishment for China to have completed its BeiDou satellite navigation system. It increases both their soft power as well as military clout to not be reliant on GPS:

A model of Chinese BeiDou Navigation Satellite System is displayed during the 12th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition in Zhuhai city, south China’s Guangdong province on Nov. 7, 2018. President Xi Jinping, the leader of the ruling Communist Party and the People’s Liberation Army, officially commissioned the system in Beijing on Friday, July 31, 2020.

China is celebrating the completion of its BeiDou Navigation Satellite System that could rival the U.S. Global Positioning System and significantly boost China’s security and geopolitical clout.

President Xi Jinping, the leader of the ruling Communist Party and the People’s Liberation Army, officially commissioned the system Friday at a ceremony at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

That followed a declaration that the 55th and final geostationary satellite in the constellation launched June 23 was operating after having completed all tests.
