Chinese Space Companies
There are two major aerospace groups in China: Aerospace Science and Technology [CASC] and Aerospace Science and Industry [CASIC]. There is a meme circulating online that "Aerospace Science and Technology is responsible for sending astronauts to the sky, and Aerospace Science and Technology is responsible for sending the to the enemy in the west." This sentence is correct, but not entirely correct. Before launching satellites or sending astronauts to the sky, the Long March series liquid rockets were used; while the Dongfeng series missiles were used to deliver express delivery and throw bricks to the enemy. However, Dongfeng-4 and 5 are actually Long March rockets. In recent years, a series of solid rockets developed by the Aerospace Science and Industry have also been used for satellite launches. To put it simply, the enemy's aircraft carrier can be "blown" and destroyed by the East Wind 26, and military satellites can also be put into orbit by the East Wind 27.
