ITEM 1.           SECURITY AND ISSUER

Securities acquired: Common Stock, HK$0.10 par value per share ("Common Stock")

Name of Issuer: APT Satellite Holdings Limited (the "Issuer")

Principal Executive Office: Room 3111-3112, 31st Floor, One Pacific Place 88
Queensway, Hong Kong

Class of Equity Security: Common Stock

ITEM 2.           IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

         (a), (b), (c) and (f) This Schedule 13D is being filed by (i) China
Aerospace International Holdings Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong
with limited liability ("CASIL") and whose shares are traded on the Stock
Exchange of Hong Kong, (ii) Sinolike Investments Limited, a wholly owned
subsidiary of CASIL organized in the British Virgin Islands ("Sinolike"), and
(iii) CASIL Satellite Holdings Limited, previously known as Chia Tai
International Telecommunication Company Limited ("CASIL Satellite"), a company
incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability, all the issued and outstanding
shares of which Sinolike acquired on April 20, 1998. Each of CASIL, Sinolike and
CASIL Satellite (each a "Reporting Person") is engaged in the business of
purchasing, for investment purposes, securities and other financial instruments,
and has a business address of 21st Floor, China Aerospace Tower, Concordia
Plaza, Science Museum Road, Tsimshatsui East, Hong Kong. Information relating to
the directors and executive officers of each Reporting Person is set forth on
Schedule A hereto which is incorporated herein by reference.

         (d) and (e) Over the past five years, neither CASIL, Sinolike nor CASIL
Satellite, nor to the best of their knowledge any of their directors or
executive officers, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding, nor was any of
them a party to any civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of
competent jurisdiction where, as a result of such proceeding, it was or is
subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or
prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws
or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

ITEM 3.           SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS

         On April 20, 1998, Sinolike used working capital in the amount of
HK$571,050,000 to acquire the issued and outstanding capital stock of CASIL
Satellite, and in an amount (not to exceed US$5,000,000) equal to the principal
sum outstanding (as at completion) of a shareholders' loan from CASIL Satellite
to CASIL Satellite's former shareholder, Telecom Holding Company Limited, to
acquire such shareholders' loan. On April 24, 1998, Sinolike used
HK$106,596,000 of its working capital to acquire 8,400,000 shares of the Issuer
from China Telecommunications Broadcast Satellite Corporation ("ChinaSat").
Then, on June 19, 1998, Sinolike used HK$106,596,000 of its working capital to
acquire another 8,400,000 shares of the Issuer from China Aerospace Corporation
("CASC"). All transactions are described in fuller detail in Item 5 below.
                                                                               
<PAGE>   6
                                                                          Page 6

         To the best of the knowledge of each Reporting Person, none of their
directors or executive officers legally or beneficially own any share of the
Issuer, directly or indirectly.


ITEM 4.           PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION

         Sinolike acquired CASIL Satellite and 16,800,000 shares of the Issuer's
Common Stock for investment purposes. Each Reporting Person, and each of their
directors and executive officers, may from time to time make additional
purchases, directly or indirectly, of the Issuer's Common Stock and may dispose
of any or all of the Issuer's Common Stock held by it. None of the Reporting
Persons, and to the best of their knowledge none of their directors and
executive officers, have any current plan or proposal which relates to, or could
result in (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the
Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary
corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation,
involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a
material amount of assets of the Issuer or of any of its subsidiaries; (d) any
change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including
any plans or proposals to change the number or term of such directors or to fill
any existing vacancies on such board; (e) any material change in the present
capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change
in the Issuer's business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuer's
charter, by-laws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions that may
impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) causing a
class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities
exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation
system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity
securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration
pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or (j) any
action similar to any of those enumerated above. Each Reporting Person, and each
of their directors and executive officers, may at any time and from time to
time, review or reconsider its position with respect to the Issuer, and may
change its intentions as stated above.

ITEM 5.           INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

         (a) and (b) On April 20, 1998, Sinolike purchased all the issued and
outstanding capital stock of CASIL Satellite. CASIL Satellite legally and
beneficially owns approximately 14,400,000 shares of the Issuer's Common
Stock and 100 shares (representing one-seventh of all the issued and
outstanding capital stock) of APT Satellite International Company ("APT
International"). APT International in turn legally and beneficially owns
214,200,000 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 51% of all the
Issuer's issued and outstanding Common Stock.

         The 14,400,000 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock directly held by
CASIL Satellite represent approximately 3.4% of the Issuer's issued and
outstanding Common Stock, and each of CASIL, Sinolike and CASIL Satellite may be
deemed to have sole voting and investment power over such shares.

         The 214,200,000 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock directly held by
APT International represent approximately 51% of the Issuer's issued and
outstanding Common Stock. All shareholders of APT International have entered
into a Shareholders' Agreement dated December
<PAGE>   7
                                                                          Page 7

6, 1996 (the "Shareholders' Agreement"), which contains (among other things)
provisions restricting the transfer or other disposal or encumbrance by any
shareholder of APT International shares in APT International, and granting
mutual rights of pre-emption among such shareholders of APT International in
the event of any proposed transfer by such a shareholder of any share(s) in APT
International. Therefore, each of CASIL, Sinolike and CASIL Satellite may be
deemed to share investment power over the 214,200,000 shares of the Issuer's
Common Stock, which power each of CASIL, Sinolike and CASIL Satellite hereby
disclaims.
                                                                               
         On April 24, 1998, Sinolike purchased another 8,400,000 shares of the
Issuer's Common Stock, representing 2% of the Issuer's issued and outstanding
Common Stock, from ChinaSat.

         On June 19, 1998, Sinolike purchased another 8,400,000 shares of the
Issuer's Common Stock, representing 2% of the Issuer's issued and outstanding
Common Stock, from CASC.

         (c) Except as described herein, no Reporting Person nor, to the best
knowledge of each Reporting Person, any person identified in Item 2 above, has
effected any transaction in the Issuer's Common Stock during the preceding 60
days.

         (d) To the best knowledge of each Reporting Person, no person other
than the Reporting Persons has the right to receive or the power to direct the
receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, shares representing
more than 5% of the Issuer's issued and outstanding Common Stock.

         (e)      Not Applicable.


ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
        TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         All shareholders of APT International have entered into the
Shareholders' Agreement, as described in Item 5 above, which Shareholders'
Agreement was filed as an exhibit to the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting
Person on April 29, 1998. CASIL Satellite, now wholly owned by Sinolike, is a
shareholder of APT International. In addition, both ChinaSat and CASC are
shareholders of APT International, and since Sinolike has purchased 8,400,000
shares of the Issuer's Common Stock from ChinaSat in April 1998, Sinolike has
become a party to the Shareholders' Agreement.

ITEM 7.           MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

         Exhibit 1. Joint Filing Agreement, dated June 29, 1998, among the
                    Reporting Persons.
