BEIJING/WASHINGTON (Worthy News) – China’s military is preparing for a potential war with the United States by rapidly building up its space capabilities, including more than 970 recently deployed satellites that would support attacks on U.S. aircraft carriers, several sources say.
The warning comes in a United States Space Force (USSF) intelligence report, monitored by Worthy News and first published by The Washington Times newspaper.
The USSF, the U.S. military’s space service, also warned that “China and Russia have been monitoring U.S. efforts to protect its space assets.”
Both countries “are trying to devise ways to counter them, to include a potential large-scale attack,” it warned in comments reviewed by Worthy News.
Beijing and Moscow blame the United States for the rising tensions.
The latest USSF report said China’s military deployments include 20 satellites launched between March and June, designed to enable “long-range precision strikes against U.S. and allied forces.”
MORE SPACE WEAPONS
Other space weapons include anti-satellite missiles, electronic jammers, and robot grappling satellites.
Additionally, according to U.S. sources, the People’s Liberation Army, China’s military, can use an orbiting space plane to attack and disrupt space-based information systems used by the U.S. and other militaries.
The intelligence report comes amid growing U.S. concern over China’s perceived war preparations.
In comments, U.S. Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall suggested a growing potential for an armed conflict with China.
“I am not saying war in the Pacific is imminent or inevitable. It is not,” Kendall said at a conference hosted by the Air & Space Forces Association. “But I am saying that the likelihood is increasing and will continue to do so.”
