China needs to make money and become self-reliant. To do so requires entering markets in which it can compete effectively.

Space technolgy, sattelite launching, military technology and space research are markets with few competitors - so it makes sense to enter this arena, esp. given that China has a perfect geographical location for launching rockets.

Part of the aid that we give to developing countries is to do just this - allow them to develop industries that will bring in money so that aid is no logner neccessary.
