Guowang [1][2] and also referred to as Hulianwang and Xingwang,[3] is a planned Chinese low-Earth orbit satellite internet megaconstellation to create a system of worldwide internet coverage. It was created by SatNet, a firm backed by the CAST. The project was started in 2022 as a rival to the Starlink satellite constellation installed by SpaceX, and plans to be constituted of over 13,000 satellites by the project's end.

Since April 2025, the program has launched 14 Hulianwang Jishu Shiyan satellites,[4] 3 Hulianwang Gaogui satellites[5] and 29 Operational Hulianwang Satellites.[6][7] Hulianwang Jishu Shiyan satellites are for Testing Technology for the Operational Hulianwang satellites and Hulianwang Gaogui satellites are a GEO variant of Guowang satellite constellation.
