Any Chinese mission to send to space similar one to Planck to watch Cosmic microwave background?

This is a good article to show that Chinese space budget is $8.9B compared to NASA $48B ... you see who is more successful?
showing how efficient and effective China isUS$1B in China can go very very far, while in the US is just like a drop in the ocean. This is I believe what makes the US so nervous about China, very efficient and effective

A summary of the current state of the Beidou satellite navigation system. Currently, more than 40 Beidou navigation satellites are in operation, with three to five more to be added in 2023 to further improve performance. More than eight million Beidou terminals are in use by China's fleet of transport vehicles, and 1.3 million terminals are in use by various customers in agriculture, forestry, and fishery sectors. Some 98% of new smartphones shipped within China now support Beidou. More than 300 billion daily requests are made by mapping/navigation software to the Beidou network.
