If the indians in North America had had ships, cannon and guns, they would not have lost the continent to the Europeans....they didn't, and they did.....
We are now allowing China to increase their ability to wage war in and from space.......but...our troops will be able to snap out their preferred pronouns when they are in the Chinese prison camps....
China has doubled the number of ISR satellites it has in space to 250 since 2018. They are also vastly advancing their “counter-space capabilities.” (The ability to destroy other nations’ satellites with either groud-based or space-based offensive weaponry.) The agency also politely notes that the Chinese are using both “overt and covert” techniques to acquire foreign satellite technology. That’s a polite way of saying that they’re stealing as much American and allied tech as they can get their hands on.
China has also been working on satellite-based jammers capable of disrupting our radar, communications, and GPS capabilities. That would impact a lot more than just your car’s ability to find a way around the next roadblock. Modern military hardware relies on all of that data to accurately engage in targeting and strikes in remote locations. China believe that if they can threaten those sorts of systems, they would seriously inhibit our ability to engage in regional military conflicts, such as the one currently playing out in Ukraine.
All the way back in 2017, intelligence officials were sounding the alarm about the dangers of falling behind in the race for satellite technology superiority.
