From the article
Last week, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper informed the Senate Armed Services Committee that, “Chinese and Russian military leaders understand the unique information advantages afforded by space systems and services and are developing capabilities to deny access in a conflict. Chinese military writing highlights the need to interfere with, damage and destroy reconnaissance, navigation and communication satellites.”

We have adopted, as policy, a disdain for supremacy.
I didn’t read the whole report but I read quite a bit looking for the part about how we (the West) should immediately quit supporting them with a market for poison laminate flooring, dog food, drywall, iphones and who knows what else as well as stop giving them all the technology. Thanks Bill!
What a relief. I am bad at laundry and some of these space jaunts can last for months!
Actually Red China was working on plans for a fighter in a future space war since the late 1940’s.
