With all eyes on Syria right now, many wouldn’t think to worry about China, much less space, but this is bound to change following a recent test carried out by the world’s most populous nation.
Working in secret, the Chinese carried out an anti-missile test that suggests they are interested in developing – and likely using – a hypersonic weapon, the likes of which could blast American satellites out of orbit. Although this might seem like something out of science fiction, US intelligence considers such a scenario not only plausible, but also highly dangerous.
Naturally, the Chinese admitted little, if any, knowledge about the test, even as spiral contrails left in the experimental missile’s wake were caught on camera and video freely shared on heavily-censored Chinese social media. Pressed about the test, the Chinese embassy gave an evasive answer, stating, “China advocates for the peaceful use of outer space, and opposes space weaponization or arms race in space.”

China will be a much bigger problem than Russia
That’s how many things happen, we are looking somewhere else.
All done with smoke and mirrors sheeple.
If China has it, don’t you think we have it too? Just my opinion, they steal from US, our information, technology, & land. We should ban them completely, ban Obama & his Muslim friendly supporters. Yes, I am talking g to all Democrats. Your liberalism is anti Constitution!
Look, it’s a bird 🙂
From the looks of things in the photo, they haven’t gotten the weapon to go in a straight line yet..
We don’t even need a military anymore. We just need to apologize for being American from now on and everyone will love us.
HI
Just going to make you aware that if they launched an attack on a satellite we can trace that attack with relative ease. Blow a sat up, get a missile to the face.
Wait. So if China doesnt want to be spied on it’s bad. I hate china and russia and acknowledge their being a threat, but “we ignore this great threat at our peril”? China must bow down to the spying of other nations? Get outta here.
