The next generation Beidou satellite navigation constellation will be completed around 2035. The development of key technologies will be finished in 2025, and three test satellites will be launched around 2027. The first satellites of the constellation will be launched beginning in 2029, and the constellation will be finished in 2035.

wowww, the gap between China and USA will be widen, current Beidou is vastly superior to the current GPS. I believe that this next generation Beidou will be fully operational than GPS Block IIIF which last launch is expected in 2024 (and delays are highly likely)

Do you have any hints of what are the improvements of this next generation Beidou to the current one?

Just taking a guess. Improved accuracy is a obvious improvement. Although it's already so accurate that all the low hanging fruit has been plucked and further improvements will see diminishing returns at higher and higher costs.

I think the real focus here will be improvement on countering jamming and spoofing. A certain recent war has given everybody a lot of real life data in that area.
