China International Security Solution Corporation Limited should not be viewed as a conventional private security or technology company. Public records show it to be:
structurally aligned with CCP state objectives
operationally linked to PLA-adjacent ecosystems
active in satellite communications and geospatial intelligence
embedded in Belt and Road deployments framed as security infrastructure
For analysts, policymakers, and investors in the United States and allied countries, CISSC is best understood as a node in China’s outward-facing military–civil fusion architecture, rather than a neutral commercial actor.From a U.S. and allied policy perspective, Li Pengde is not merely a technocrat. He represents a hybrid figure:
a trained geospatial scientist
a long-serving security-relevant bureaucrat
a trusted political actor within the CCP system
His presence at military–civil fusion meetings signals that China’s mapping, satellite, and geospatial sectors are not civilian backwaters, but centrally managed strategic assets with direct implications for defense, overseas operations, and global governance.
Taken together, publicly available reporting establishes Yan Lijin not as a generic businessman, but as a career CCP military-trade operator, deeply involved in defense electronics exports, foreign military relations, and strategic technology cooperation, with Pakistan serving as a central theater of activity for more than 20 years.
Zhongce International Geospatial Information Co., Ltd. (中测国际地理信息有限公司) occupies a central organizational role within the GNSS & LBS Association of China (中国卫星导航定位协会, GLAC) through its leadership of the International Spatiotemporal Information Integrated Services Professional Committee (中国卫星导航定位协会国际时空信息综合服务专业委员会). This committee was formally established in Beijing on 12 September 2020 with the approval of GLAC, a national-level industry association that serves as a coordination and policy-transmission platform for China’s satellite navigation sector under CCP supervision.
The China Satellite Navigation and Location Services Association
(GNSS & LBS Association of China, GLAC) is often described externally as an “industry association.” Its own charter, however, makes clear that it is politically and institutionally embedded in the CCP system.
Key provisions from the Association’s charter state explicitly that:
The Association is guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era
It upholds the comprehensive leadership of the Chinese Communist Party
A CCP organization is formally established within the Association
Party activities are conducted as part of normal operations
Senior appointments and elections must be reviewed and approved by Party authorities
The Association is:
registered with the Ministry of Civil Affairs
supervised by the Central and State Organs Working Committee of the CCP
In short, GLAC is not an independent professional body. It is a Party-led coordination platform linking government agencies, state-owned enterprises, defense contractors, and selected private firms within the BeiDou / GNSS / location-based services ecosystem.
A Singapore-based subsidiary of ADDVALUE TECHNOLOGIES LTD, specializing in satellite mobile communication hardware and solution services
Brings global experience in satellite communications, device R&D, and backend operations
Already partnered with multiple international projects in satellite terminals and mobile communication solutions
While presented as a commercial cooperation, several factors suggest broader strategic significance:
Dual-use technology – Satellite communication terminals have both civilian and military applications, particularly in secure data links and mobile command capabilities.
Cross-border integration – The partnership links Chinese and Singaporean technology firms, creating channels for international deployment of satellite solutions aligned with China’s Belt and Road communications infrastructure.
Embedded network in China’s state ecosystem – 7Star’s collaborations with CETC 54th Research Institute and China Telecom’s BeiDou Innovation Center indicate ties to state and potentially military-linked projects.
In short, the collaboration between 7Star Communications and Addvalue Innovation is more than a standard commercial partnership: it is a strategic alignment between a Chinese high-tech state-connected enterprise and a Singaporean company with global satellite communications capabilities, enhancing China’s reach in satellite mobile communications.
