Chinese Satellite Imaging Firm Helping Houthis Target US Warships
2025-04-18
[ZERO] Washington is now accusing China of getting in bed with the Iran-backed Shia Houthis of Yemen, who have long waged a war against Red Sea shipping, including attacks on US warships and Israel.

The US State Department on Thursday issued allegations centered on Chinese firm, Chang Guang Satellite Technology, saying it is directly supporting attacks by Houthi fighters against American interests. This firm is well-known to be close to the CCP government, and is already under Western sanctions.

"We can confirm the reporting that Chang Guang Satellite Technology Company Limited (CGSTL) is directly supporting Iran-backed Houthi terrorist attacks on U.S. interests," State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce told a press briefing.

Appears to be a bit more than a tariff war.

#5  It is 2025. Weather satellites can detect somebody's burn pit. Could probably even use wind sheer.

Heck, who needs China?

Just Google "GIS" for your County/City and look at all the data and photos collected on and about yours or anyone's property.

District of Columbia (DC) provides some interesting maps and data.
