How China is Keeping Space Peaceful

Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Liu Jianchao said at a Press Conference on Jan 23,


China has informed relevant parties, including the U.S., on the recent test in the outer space. I'd like to emphasize that China consistently advocates peaceful utilization of the outer space, and opposes to weaponization of arms race in the outer space. Neither has China has participated, nor will it participate in arms race of the outer space in any form.

I gotta say, China is building and testing weapons to attack outer space assets. They are not participating in a arms race in outer space because the don't want anyone else to do it. As soon as someone does, poof arms race. Not that I have a big problem with that in general, but China scares me, frankly.

Lets parse the comments and add what he really means:


China has informed relevant parties, including the U.S., on the recent test in the outer space [after everyone found out]. I'd like to emphasize that China consistently advocates peaceful utilization of the outer space [by other countries], and opposes to weaponization of arms race in the outer space [so no one but us should build spaced weapons]. Neither has China has participated, nor will it participate in arms race of the outer space in any form [since we are the only one's doing it].
