ven for a country famous for its ambitious, headline-grabbing plans, this one’s a doozy: China is mulling a new “Earth-moon space economic zone” that would create $10 trillion of new economic value by 2050. For context, that’s nearly double China’s current GDP. It may be half-baked, but don’t dismiss the plans as pure science fiction: Beijing has been pumping money into its rocket program and even landed a probe on the dark side of the moon in January. We’ll be watching China’s plans with a wary eye on Washington too. If President Trump can’t stomach the idea of China out-foxing the US on technology and trade, he’s going to really hate it if the Communist Party tries to beat the USA at making a fortune in space.
