Chinese space program means trouble for US

United States attaches most importance in bilateral contacts to its concerns about the military component of China's space research.
China has three major rocket launch sites, and is going to build the fourth
The Chinese are working closely with the ESA on the Galileo global positioning system as a commercial alternative to America's GPS orbital dominance.
Defense analysts will surely take note of the implications a Wenchang launch site will have on China's missile defense and electronic early-warning system capabilities in the South China Sea
According to current Department of Defense (DOD) doctrine, "The United States must be able to protect its space assets … and deny the use of space assets by its adversaries
The 2001 Rumsfeld Commission report warned of a potential "space Pearl Harbor" if adversaries attack U.S. satellites. Underpinning these concerns is the possibility that China might target U.S. space assets in a future conflict.
Chinese strategists have explored ways of limiting U.S. use of space, including anti-satellite (ASAT) weapons, jamming, employing lasers to blind reconnaissance satellites, and even using electro-magnetic pulses produced by a nuclear weapon to destroy satellites.

Its good too see that you have been reading up and investigating China.They have caught a lot of people by suprise economically,politically,scientifically and militarily working behind the scenes gaining influence in many areas.With a population of 1.4 billion who knows what could happen in the future.There does seem to be friction now between west and east especially on the economic front.

"The real threat for US is China"
China owns US in many ways, as well as space technology. Go into any large consumer store in America and check out any item of novelty, housewares, gadgetry, etc. you will find, "made in China" on the bottom. American's don't get the concept, they just buy it.

I dont expect anyone to agree with what i have to say.The facts speak for themselves in showing what is going on in the world.People should look at the facts piece them together and make opinion on those.

For any country to assume the dominance over outer space is to display such hubris as to be absolutely insane. Any country has the right to explore this universe,..., be they capitalist, communist, socialist or whatever-ist.
With approximately 100 to 200 Billion stars in this galaxy alone,..we happen to exist within a galaxy that provides enough territory for every living human to literally have approximately 25 Stars and the associated space they contain to call their own territory.
The USA has absolutely no say in the matter, and when they do spew their nonsense,..., that is exactly what it is,..., nothing but powermongering bullsh*t.
Furthermore, any country that manages to get their exploration programs to a level where humanity gets off this third rock from the sun has enhanced the survivability of humanity in the cosmos,..., any country trying to stop such exploration of other countries is effing nuts.
In short, the USA has absolutely no exclusive rights to this universe, so shrubbie and cabal of warmongering fascist pigs can just shut the phuck up.

Moscow offered to put Chinese astronaught in space — Beijing declined.
Beijing is happy developing its own way to the Stars — and is doing it very well I think.

Looks like certain posters on this site are showing their true colors. Despite their phony "antiwar" mask, they regurgitate the latest American "threat" propaganda and stand reality on its head.
your statment is not clear. are you referring about me?

Do you accept American rhetoric about the space "threat" as valid?

"Joseph Goebbel's Big Lie technique"
I don't think Joseph Goebbels invented the Big Lie technique for propaganda. He might have coined the phrase, a useful addition to propaganda theory. I think all nations use the Big Lie technique to pursuade their populations to support their leaders' war ambitions.
Famously, FDR used the Big Lie that Pearl Harbor was a surprise Japanese attack, when he & Churchill knew it was going to happen. Indeed, they fervently prayed that it would happen & did nothing to stop it. The result: FDR got the U.S. into WWII.
The 'Gulf of Tonkin Incident' was a cooked up excuse to get the U.S. into the Vietnam War.
9/11 was a prefabricated event to kick start the New American Century of wars in southwest Asia.
Iraq's WMDs were invented to start the second U.S. War Against Iraq.
Full marks to Joseph Goebbels for stating clearly in words of one syllable what everyone ought to know.

I accept that in an US perspective, China threat US interests/security. don't you?

American interests and security are about Global Domination--not peace, WMDs, or whatever lie it is peddling. Any country that opposes this US/Western World Order is labeled as a threat, in the same way that Iraq was demonized as a "threat" for the past 15 years.
If you accept the legitimacy of the US perspective, you accept the legitimacy of America's global dominance agenda, which is to say USA-led war, aggression, and subjugation of the Third World.

If you accept the legitimacy of the US perspective
As far as i know recognizing what is the US perspective, is not the same as accepting it as legitimate.
So in US Perspective and in my opinion, yes China is the main US opponent.
The problem for US is China is too big for a confrontantion.
And yes in my opinion China is fully aware of US intentions, and that's why China is the second biggest weapons builder/buyer in the last years.
So, for US, China is the bigggest problem, as for China, US is the main threat.
And this is not regurgitate the latest American "threat" propaganda.
Or anyone that goes against your opinion, have Warped perspective?

The USA/Western perspective is warped. All the Orwellian psyops pushed by these war criminals don't lie: WMDs, the War on Terrorism, Color-coded Coups dressed up as revolution, Promoting global democracy, and now the "Space Pearl Harbor."
The political pretexts and targetted nations change, but the agenda stays the same: Justify US and allies' aggression by casting their victims/opponents as a threat.

By law, the US cannot cooperation with any Communist nation in matters related to space exploration.
See the Pelly Admendment which was passed the House on Oct. 10, 1963:
"No part of any appropriations made available to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration by this act shall be used for the expenses of participating in a manned lunar landing to be carried out by the US and any Communist, Communist-controlled, or Communist-dominated country, or for expenses of any aeronautical and space activities...which are primarily designed to facilitate or prepare for preparation in such a joint lunar landing except pursuant to an agreement hereafter made by the President and with the advise and consent of the Senate..".
This law, which is still in effect today, was passed to make it impossible for Pres. Kennedy to arrange his proposed joint lunar mission with the Soviet Union, which he made in a speech to the UN on Sept. 20, 1963. Just to be safe, NASA appears to have been involved with the JFK assassination that same year.
China shouldn't waste resources competing with Russia in space exploriation. Cooperation is the key to longterm economical success. The US is incapable of doing this sort of thing, even if it wanted to, unless the Senate abolishes the old 1963 Pelly Admendment. I don't think this will be likely very soon.
