Delete America, GPS, and BeiDou: the Great Power Competition in satellite navigation systems
China is aggressively removing foreign software and applications from its critical information technology systems. This program is informally known as "Delete-America", or "Delete-A", and involves all software applications and in almost all industries.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) and satellite navigation is a critical function in scores of industries. GPS is owned by the United States government, and its replacement with Chinese domestic technology is an imperative for China's policymakers.
China has developed their own satellite navigation system, called BeiDou, as a home-grown alternative to GPS. BeiDou already boasts higher degrees of accuracy and reliability, and is less susceptible to interference and jamming. It is particularly more accurate outside the United States and Western Europe, and is being quickly adopted by users across South Asia, South America, and Africa.
