As the leader of Blue Arrow Aerospace's propulsion research, Ge Ming developed the country's first liquid rocket engine with his team.
At the conference site, Ge said: "We developed the rocket engine at a fast pace. We completed this journey within 3 years while it took Tesla 10 years. Our technical level of engine is on par with SpaceX' s engines nowadays."

This documentary also calls attention to ancient ethnic groups that live on the fringes of China.
The Tuvas is a branch of the Mongols, an ethnic group whose members are nomads and hunters. Several Tuvas performed a folk song called "The Rhyme of the Camel" at the conference on Monday.
The documentary's director, Qiao Yan, also CEO of Chinese drone maker DJI, said that the documentary presents "'the China you've never seen.' China is multi-faceted. It is both ancient and modern. The most beautiful China includes the most beautiful landscapes, stories, and figures."
The new season will be released through Chinese online video platform Youku on June 18.
