This is the diplomatic version of giving the Chinese the finger.

Get hold of yourself lol they are just going to show them the video. Why do we have to? They can't get Fox News?
There was a satellite up there yesterday. It isn't there today. The reason why is because we hit it with a big missile. That's all we need to be telling anyone.

I don’t have a problem with showing off to the Chinese just how good we are at hitting satellites. Sure, show them we can swat their missiles out of the sky. Let them figure out how we do it.

I would share the data, too.
1. Here's a picture of a satellite in orbit. Much like any of your satellites, for example.
2. Here's us knocking it out of orbit with our cool tool. You don't have one of these.
3. See how little the pieces are? Teensy-Weensy. Like your... satellites could be.

WASHINGTON (AP) Defense Secretary Robert Gates says the United States is prepared to share with China some of the information it has about this week's U.S. satellite shootdown. Gates told reporters during a visit to Hawaii that the United States is prepared to share whatever it can "appropriately" share with China.
Calm down, people.

Chinese are probably concerned that some lead based paint might survive re-entry and land on their territory.

Just wait till Hillary is CIC.
The Chinese will be fed up to their ying-yangs with US classified material.

We will not share anything they couldnt confirm on their own. And you know this how?
We will essentially tell them when and how we will destroy the satellite, and how much debris is left in orbit and for how long.
The when was yesterday. The how was a missile. As to the rest, let them send someone up to count the pieces.

In negotiations, it is sometimes desirable if your opponent understands his and your best alternatives to a negotiated agreement. Translation: “I’ve got ‘hand’.”

This shows to the world we can take out any missiles coming our way. A great message to Iran and North Korea!

will disclose information that is “appropriate” to share: “OK boys, missle went up, very big explosion, satellite came down in very small pieces, that’s all.”
