They successfully tested (after 3 failed attempts) a land launched missle that is capable of destroying a satellite in orbit (they destroyed one of their own obsolete satellites). This is making a lot of people nervous, because basically China is demonstrating a new weapon that could really only be of use against the United States.

China now has the ability to destroy satellites in low earth orbit, but here's the political angle, the US recently declared they have the right to develop space weopons. The US has one standard for itself and another for others in space since they said they have the right to military space programs but ***** about what China is doing
China is only doing what the US is doing - hence why dialog is the only answer to the never ending re-armament.

The Chinese government blew up one of their own old weather satellites. But, it's a clear indication of how advanced China really is. Why can't we all just get along??

Here's a pretty comprehensive article about China's satellite missile test, including reactions, implications and history.

It was one of their own satellites - but the debris is a worry, hurtling around in space could cause some problems for other satellites.

i does no longer do some thing that i did not favor to do to proceed to exist and defeat the overseas chance. it would want to be cowardly to no longer strive against back in case you had the talents to. If I fought a soldier, then he's attempting to kill me, i do not opt for to die and that i will take deadly action to make positive i do not. i do not opt for to end a human existence and if he surrendered he might want to be spared and at no aspect might want to I ever torture except i mandatory to get any type of powerful concepts from him. after I actually have the concepts he will no longer journey torture. i'd kill and shed blood yet only for the survival of myself, my loved ones, commrades in my resistance (WOLVERINES!!!!) and possibility free human beings.

They're trying to "Unplug" us.
The trash from the satelite they blew up will probably crash into our working satalites that bring us internet access and television access ... soon, no more TiVo 4 u. (Cell phones will hault too). WHoooooopie - Yippie- Ya - Yeah. Well, maybe not, I might go insane unplugged.
