BEIJING - Beijing downplayed on Tuesday the significance of Sweden’s decision to deny Beijing the use of its antenna at a satellite station in Australia, saying China’s space programme and navigational capabilities in the Pacific region remained intact.

Since at least 2011, the Sweden Space Corporation has had contracts giving Beijing access to its antennas in Sweden, Chile and Australia. It told Reuters those contracts would not be renewed. China’s contract in Australia started in 2009, and is “good for decades,” the insiders told the paper, published by the People’s Daily, the official newspaper of the ruling Communist Party.
