#1 The story sounds fishy to me; a little too quick to dismiss it. It's hard to believe that after 20 years of intercepting and analyzing american GPS signals, they would spend the time and money to launch something inferior to decades-old technology. A more "Chinese" tactic would be to launch and test in a degraded mode, and then actually turn it on when they need it.

#2 I don't know...the Chinese can be horribly inefficient. It has to be seen to be believed.

#4 Iff the Chicoms emulate the Cold War Soviets, they'll spare nuthin', scarce $$$ + human lives, Chinese andor anyone else, to learn the ropes of advanced US-NATO techs. Once the world finds out, "accidents/incidents" will be PC blamed on America-NATO.
