RED CHINA SEEKS MILITARY CONTROL OF SPACE

"Chinese military planners have focused on ‘information warfare’ and ‘space supremacy’ as the key components of their country’s battlefield ‘Supremacy Theory,’ enunciated in an October 28, 2003 People’s Liberation Army Daily article, ‘Space is the Commanding Point for the Information Battlefield.’ The broad philosophy driving the development of China’s space technology, observes Asia Times Online, is to destroy or capture satellites and other space-based sensors, which will make it difficult for opponents to operate their precision-weapons capability. In addition, the Chinese are developing micro- and nano-satellites that can effectively intercept satellites utilized by other countries."
