“ Chinese researchers are exploring radical methods to undermine Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite network, viewing the sprawling constellation as both a security threat and a strategic challenge. -Shadow satellites to trail Starlink craft and deploy interference measures. -Targeted sabotage aimed at weaknesses in the supply chain of more than 140 primary suppliers. -Directed-energy attacks using high-powered lasers to disable or destroy -equipment. -Orbital interference involving corrosive materials or kinetic strikes on ion thrusters and solar panels.“

Bet Musk will deploy anti-anti-starlink sats before the Chinese deploy their anti-starlink sats.
China is so good for the world./s
Hope Musk shoots space lasers at that crap dam of theirs.
Rather than that, could we all asmations, agree to use Musks starling and leave it alone? Lots of rural rea in China and Russia could use internet access. Even Chinese solar power set ups to Ren the hardware.
The Starlink satellites are cheap, low-orbit, temporary devices that are meant to be replaced regularly as they fall back to earth. In a time of World War, I doubt more would be launched. The problem, from the Chinese POV, would take care of itself in a few months
Obviously clearing space of enemy satellites will happen in the first fifteen minutes of the start of the next major war.
China does NOT want their people to have unrestricted access to the internet.
That is what is likely at the root of it.
Because what happens in orbit is largely hidden from the naked eye, it does not make the warfare any less substantial.
The Communist Chinese government has been at war with the United States for more than three decades, and we refuse to acknowledge it.
China is our largest nemesis. Putin isn’t stupid and that’s why he formed a coalition with them. However Putin, who’s military can’t win a war with a tiny country, may end up being eaten alive by China. China wants world and space domination.
The US needs to start getting tough and take away every acre of land that China owns in the US.
They also need to round up every Chinese operative in the US, including kicking all Chinese nationals out of our universities.
This US democrat/CCP collusion BS began 16 years of democrat presidents!
“China is so good for the world./s”
We made it possible.
If one visits a university with a strong biomedical department and hangs out behind those buildings to see who’s taking a cigarette break, you’ll feel like you’re in Shanghai.
If you don't immediately recall the historic context (I rephrased Cicero's famous quote regarding Carthage which was uttered during the time of the Third Punic War) it says: "The Chinese Communist Party Must Be Destroyed." )
My tagline, that is.
I believe it!
It’s pure stupidity to have them in our universities on frickin’ visas.
Furthermore, democrats and a few RINOs need to be investigated. It’s not just democrat politicians in NYC who are making money off selling us out.
Tampon Walz needs an investigation too.
And so do Oregon democrats:
The Oregon-China Relationship Becomes Essential

The chinks are using the Port of Portland for all manner of skullduggery including shipping in fake ballots!
Rods from Musk
Elon should maintain an excellent relationship with the U.S. government, as our higher-orbiting military geostationary satellites could provide “watch” and, if they’re armed like I suspect, actual protection for Starlink and other orbiting projects.
All above my pay-grade fer sure.
“China does not intend to put up with the Western space monopoly and is ready to use all available means to undermine the technological superiority of the United States. Outer space is becoming a new theater of military operations.”
Do you think we have space based lasers? We were shooting lasers into space back in the 80’s. How many satellites have our military put into orbit in the last 40 years? Spaceforce is real.
China is playing catchup. At this point, if China tried something in space, their vehicles will be vaporized before they know what hit them.
3I Atlas, if its more than simple comet, will solve this problem for all parties.
China wants to free us from Skynet...
