China warns US against 'weaponizing' space
2018-12-20
[PRESSTV] China has opposed the "weaponization" of space by the United States, a day after President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
ordered the creation of a new command center for controlling military space operations.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying criticized the order by Trump administration during a briefing in Beijing on Wednesday

"China has consistently proposed the peaceful usage of space, and opposes the weaponization of space and a space arms race," the spokeswoman said, adding, "We oppose even further turning space into the new battleground," she added.

On Tuesday, Trump in a memo to Defense Secretary Jim Mattis ordered the creation of the new organizational structure within the Pentagon that will have overall control of military space operations. "'I direct the establishment, consistent with United States law, of United States Space Command as a functional Unified Combatant Command."

Vice President Mike Pence, speaking at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida's Cape Canaveral Tuesday, said the new US "Space Command" will integrate space capabilities across all branches of the military. "It will develop the space doctrine, tactics, techniques and procedures that will enable our war fighters to defend our nation in this new era."

#2  There is nothing more concerning than a Mao Se Dung thinking he can get the Mandate of Heaven from concentration camps and world authoritarians.

#1  Are these the same Chicoms that deployed an asat weapon awhile back that left a *bleep*load of debris in orbit? I'm guessing if they are bitching about the weaponization of space, then they are up to their ears in it.
