| From East Asia Intel, subscription. The annual report of the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, released last week, disclosed new details of China’s anti-satellite and space warfare capabilities. The report said that China also is developing civilian technology that can be applied to military space programs and is acquiring the “ability to destroy or temporarily incapacitate every enemy space vehicle when it is located above China,” the report said. Of course you know, this means war.... The Chinese also plan to attack U.S. global positioning system (GPS) satellites through various means, including anti-satellite weapons, high-energy weapons, high-energy weather monitoring rockets and ground attacks on earth-based stations. One section of the report, based on public and classified briefings, concluded there was a need for more information about Chinese activities and intentions. Research from nearly 100 Chinese sources identified 30 proposals and recommendations by Chinese military leaders “regarding the development of space and counter-space weapons and programs.” They included the goals of ensuring that Chinese space weapons are “conducted covertly so China can maintain a positive international image.” China has called for a ban on space weapons at the United Nations. Watch the hands and not the mouth. Just like street fighting. The military is also developing stealth satellites and a space program that will “provide key support for Chinese combat forces.” “Some of these proposals appear to have been implemented already, as evidenced by January’s kinetic anti-satellite test and earlier laser incidents involving American satellites,” the report said. |

| #9 I buy all my food there, since it saves me $60 a week and I can't afford not too. But we don't buy anything else from there. Depending on what part of the country you're in, there are other alternatives to affordable food besides Wal*Mart. Just look around. Food for Less, Costco...etc. I have completely stopped shopping at WalMart. It requires some research and an effort to remove WalMart from your life, but it can be done. |

| #7 Buying anything at Wal-Mart still helps support a corporate engine whose Chinese purchases represent a solid 10% of our over $12,000,000,000 trade imbalance with communist China. I refuse to shop at Wal-Mart as a matter of sheer principal. I may not be able to avoid purchasing any Chinese goods but I sure as Hell will not abet one of the most active supporters of our communist enemy. |

| #6 Actually, anymouse, about 62% of crap. One has to be picky. |

| #5 Every piece of crap you buy at WalMart this Christmas indirectly goes to fund the destruction fo the US. |

| #4 China needs to be put on notice that any damage by them to our satellite fleet is automatic grounds for nuclear retaliation. In many respects our over-reliance upon satellite-based imaging and remote sensing has increased the possibility of a nuclear exchange. Imagine if suddenly our entire network of satellites went down. The loss of stare-down mosaic CCDs that detect silo launch blast rings and other indications of a first strike would push us into a "use-or-lose" position. China disabling our overhead detection capabilities could easily be interpreted as their opening salvo of a first strike against CONUS. We need to make this crystal clear to Beijing and let them know that China would cease to exist within hours of such a move. With respect to the moon, America should have had a functioning lunar base decades ago. As Heinlein noted, we currently have all of our eggs in one very fragile blue-green basket. The human race needs to get its genetic material out of this gravity well in case of a catastrophic asteroid strike. |

| #3 Yeah I thought Zhang He explored the moon an even made a map to claim it for China. |

| #2 You mean the Chinese haven't already claimed the moon? |

| #1 The Ruskies tried this sh$$ too, and we did some things to counter their threat. We can do the same to China if they get too beligerant. This is one reason we HAVE to go back to the moon. If the Chinese get there, they will claim the moon as Chinese territory, and the rest of the world will more or less be at their mercy - for a short while, and possibly at heavy cost. |
