Missile-ready China warns U.S. against plan to destroy spy satellite
By David Lague
Published: February 18, 2008


BEIJING:

In response to a U.S. plan to shoot down a malfunctioning spy satellite,
China has warned against threats to security in outer space, without
mentioning its own successful anti-satellite missile test last year.




But, OK for China:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6289519.stm


China has confirmed it carried out a test that destroyed a satellite, ...
China is now only the third country to shoot something down in space




Who do they think they're talking to?

LOL at China threatening us.. they just blew up a satelite for no good
reason last year...

China is telling the US to not carry out missile defense tests. The
US should respond by emphasizing that the satellite will be
intercepted only to protect human life, and this will be no missile
test because the missile system has already been perfected. As long
as GW Bush behaves toward China the way he has toward Africa, there
won't be any problems.

Why should China tell us not to caryy out missle defense tests? They did
one of their own last year!

Exactly.

Think of this: your computer was probably made in China, and if not, the
parts probably were.

China has big plans for 2020: Chinese man on the moon, Chinese rover to
Mars, Chinese this, Chinese that.

Have any idea how easy it is to program your BIOS to kill your computer on
the first day of Chinese New Year, 2020?

There was a good reason: They invented fireworks, and they're trying to
modernize the concept.

Somewhere on this planet, there seems to be a school where government
employees from all nations learn to make stupid public announcements. Here's
another, from an article about our attempt to shoot down the satellite:

"A hurry-up program to adapt the missile for this anti-satellite mission was
completed in a matter of weeks; Navy officials say the changes will be
reversed once this satellite is down."

Changes will be reversed? Let's consider the possible interpretations of
that statement:

1) They'll undo the changes made to the specific missile that was launched,
and is now in pieces. Nah...that can't be right.

2) They'll tell all involved in the work to forget what they knew or learned
while adapting the missile for this mission. That's dumb. That can't be
right.

3) We will be sure to have a few modified missiles ready at all times for
another such mission, but the Navy doesn't want anybody to believe this.
Also known as the "with a wink and a nod" school of public announcements. We
only built one ha ha ha ha.

I think #3 most closely matches the stupidity of China asking us not to
snuff the satellite.

If one did a proper search they would discover they did not modify the
missiles. The Navy modified the system that controls the missiles so as to
hit a satellite rather than another missile. Reported to be at a cost of
30 to 40 million dollars

Guess for the same reason the USA tells other countries not to develop
nukes while they have them theirselves?

Who is the USA to decide such things?

And, in the same line of thought, who is China to decide such things for
other countries.

This is where political connections come into play, it isn't easy.

Sometimes we pay them to develop nukes, while at the same time telling them
not to. What a show. Pass the popcorn.
