More energy from the sun
As foreseen by the Association of Photovoltaic manufacture of China (chin. 中国光伏行业协会), in 2024 the power produced in China from solar panels will increase by 31% a year (r/r). This will be little than in the evidence year 2023, erstwhile an increase of 55% y/y was recorded, as the manufacture faces an overcapacity of this renewable energy and restrictions at home and abroad.
China has the world's largest renewable energy power, but its fast expansion has affected national transmission systems, there is simply a deficiency of retention capacity, forcing any power plants to reduce production.
The solar panel manufacture and its components, according to China's Photovoltaic manufacture Association forecasts, will produce equipment this year that will make 220 gigawatts (GW) of fresh power, which is about the same as last year.
The 2 largest markets for Chinese exports of panels and components for their production are Europe and Asian countries.

100 rocket launches in 2024
China is planning to launch 100 launch spacecraft this year to send more than 300 ships and satellites into space.
70 of these starts will be conducted by China Aerospace discipline and Technology corp (CASC, chin. 中国航天科技集团有限公司), an organization which is liable for implementing the Chinese space program.
The remaining launches will be commercial. It'll be a commercial launch. This is simply a fresh national evidence and a sharp increase compared to last year.
However, the ratio of "state" rocket launches to "private" rockets remains the same, although the commercial space sector in the PRC is developing rapidly.
According to CASC's statement, the main missions this year will include 2 manned flights and 2 cargo flights to the TianGong space station (chin. 天宫), which is located in a low orbit around the Earth.
CASC will besides launch a communication satellite QueQiao-2 (chin. 鹊桥二号), and in May the Chang’e-6 (chin. 嫦娥六号) mission is planned to be carried out, during which samples of lunar ground are to be taken, from the area on the dark side of the Moon. This is another step in the implementation of the lunar program, which aims to establish a permanent, manned investigation base on the Silver Globe. The Chang’e-6 mission will be the most interesting task in this year’s Chinese space programme calendar in the CASC opinion.
Other missions in space investigation include the launch of multiple civilian satellites, including the Star 02 electromagnetic field monitoring satellites, as part of cooperation with France and Italy, or the satellite placed in the ShiJian-19 multiple launch and landing pod (chin. 实践十九号). The commercial usage of cosmodrom in WenChang (chin. 文昌发射场) in HaiNan state (chin. 海南) will besides be inaugurated.
In 2024, CASC will conduct the first flights of 2 fresh rocket models, namely Long March 6 (chin. 长征六号) and Long March 12 (chin. 长征十二号), with a view to future manned missions to the Moon.
