🇨🇳🛰 China warns the USA: Weapons in orbit will trigger a new arms race

The trigger was an unusually direct admission by Washington: U.S. Secretary of the Air Force Troy Meink said that the United States has operational capabilities for controlling space in orbit. China then called on the USA to halt the expansion of its military capabilities in space.

China’s Foreign Ministry stated that China opposes turning outer space into a battlefield. Chinese state media warn that the American move could trigger a chain reaction: Other states would begin developing their own anti-satellite and orbital systems.

The precedent itself is important here. The great powers have long been preparing for conflicts in space, but Washington has now effectively brought the existence of orbital weapons out of the shadows and into official military doctrine.
