These chinese commies would love to blow it out of the sky if it didn't pose a threat to other space ventures from all the massive amounts of debris it would leave for many years to come.

But what they would want even more is to fully take it over and turn it into a weapon platform, while also using it for their own research.

Many people would not be sleeping comfortable at nights if they ever got to place a nuke weapon platform into space, and I'm very sure that the Russians would balk at that too!

The thought of 100 Chinese nuke warheads, each with 300 KT, orbiting just 250 miles over my head, is totally unacceptable! Where are the 56 fabled Solar Warden spaceships that the USA is supposed have?

There are treaties that prohibit that. Sanctions for that would put the Chinese out of business and starving in short order. No one in the world would tolerate that.
