Should China take down Starlink, there are more satellite broadband systems to follow. Amazon's 3,236 Project Kuiper birds are ready for flight. Who the heck wrote this article?
1. Amazon hasn't launched even ONE satelite let alone their satellite system being “ready”.
2. China cannot take down Starlink. Russia tried it over Ukraine and got nowhere . And Starlink is not even available in China.

Russia tried jamming starlink and failed.
China is saying they need to figure out a way to take down Starlink. The threat is real and China might figure out a way.
This is why we need Space Force. War in Orbit is a thing.

Jeff Bezos was just suggesting that Musk was too cozy with China, but that was likely projection.

While Starlink parent company SpaceX is privately owned, it does have contracts with the US Department of Defense, such as an award for building satellites that track and warn of hypersonic missile launches for the Space Development Agency.Starlink's not available in China - yet. Can Musk trust the Department of Defense?
