Report: China targeting all 'enemy space vehicles' including GPS satellites
World Tribune ^ | Tuesday, November 27, 2007

China’s anti-satellite and space warfare program includes plans to destroy or incapacitate 'every enemy space vehicle' that passes over China.

The annual report of the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, released last week, listed among Beijing's goals that of ensuring that Chinese space weapons are “conducted covertly so China can maintain a positive international image.” China has called for a ban on space weapons at the United Nations. The report said that China also is developing civilian technology that can be applied to military space programs and is acquiring the “ability to destroy or temporarily incapacitate every enemy space vehicle when it is located above China,” the report said.

And whatever China wants, it knows it can count on from it’s operatives in the U.S., both foreign born and home grown.

Plus we educate every one of our enemies while Americans can’t afford school.

That’s a fact.

It’s common knowledge that they use their expats for collection on us extensively.

I wonder if the ChiComs are familiar with the term “depressed trajectory”.

Every dollar we spend on Chinese products is a bullet pointed at America.

We’re not the only ones.

Personal story: years ago when going to college and before having any association to the DoD (Besides through family) I went as a student to a German school in Darmstadt. At the time the school was called THD, today TUD. I was amazed at what I saw going on. You had guys (usually younger men that were a bit older than the rest of the student population) who were from the PRC attending the university, all in scientific and engineering tracks. When talking to them for a while you almost always eventually found out that they were actually still in the Chinese military, simply on a break and in civilian cloths getting an education in Germany. One of them “coincidentally” worked at Frankfurt Airport adjacent to Rhein Main AFB, so did another, and some other ones worked in other locations which also were coincidentally close to US military installations. I didn’t say or do anything, would not have mattered anyhow. I figured maybe I’m just reading to much into it. But this wasn’t a single case, and intentionally I went out of my way a little bit to talk to a few of these guys and sort of collect on them (for my own reasons) and there was an undeniable pattern (all military trained men, all in science/engineering fields, all near US instalations Rhein Main/Ramstein/Lindsey Air Station. Personally, I have no doubt that what the Chinese are doing is using the international student exchange program as a way to train their military officers in science and engineering fields. Furthermore, there is no doubt that these guys are also used as collection sources while abroad. But that’s just my personal analysis.

JoiseyDude,


One location, these words: Three Gorges Damn.

Red China doesn't have any clue who they're dealing with ...



And while their targeting of U.S. military satellites is rather "stupid", their targeting of Soviet space hardware is "suicidal" ...

Well, it must suck for those who have built their entire military and intelligence network on such technology.

Oops.

It's the military's use of GPS for targeting that worries me.
