Question

Can the remains of destroyed Sattellite would harm other man made objects revolving the earth ? Will China remains always trouble some inspite of opening up its economy to Global Market ?

Answer 1

China is a Communist government where a few people are privy to priviledge.

Their satellite created thousands of peices of junk that will be in orbit for years. There is a potential for this junk to hit US assets and damage them (including manned spacecraft).

With an ever increasing population and selective breeding that aborts girl babies, China will continue to be a problem. Assuming they get hit with a famine, how would their government feed 1 billion guys? Look to them to be a growing threat to world peace.
