Space Race With China?

Before China carried out an anti-satellite test in January 2007, some U.S. policy-makers, including NASA Administrator Michael Griffin and the U.S. House China Working Group, advocated greater cooperation between the United States and China in space. After the test, which created a massive cloud of space debris that angered international space professionals and alarmed the American public, increased references to U.S.-China competition and hints of a new space race drowned out calls for cooperation.

Using the experience they gained from visiting China several times in the last eight months, analysts Jeffrey Lewis and Gregory Kulacki will evaluate the costs and benefits of cooperation and competition between the United States and China in light of the history of Chinese interest in ASAT technology and an assessment of China's growing aerospace industry.

You are talking about history that is no longer relevant. For the past 30 Years, USA's economy has been developed to promote a military state. This means that their main parts of investment have been on weapons and arms. During this time China has invested in companies at a rate which was twice the one of the US. Are you aware that China owns about 40% of Amercia's domestic economy? Dude, do ur homework. Btw I am not chinese. I am just a guy who did his economy and politics homework. Peace.

bless you, obviously you know this subject really well and I agree with you.

But im a pesimist and I believe Freud that people function on fear of their dark side, or openly for their dark side :)

I think US actually does not feel strong enough to take on China, and only way to bring China down is economy, and you destroy economy through war. Id wish that good will will prevail, but Americans havent done a single good thing in 70 years, what will make them start now, and US is on its knees

SCO countries needs to militarize space as well URGENTLY to protect us from USA terrorism.

@cx2587 Animals also live as a united species. Does that make them civilised? Your anti-missile technology isn't really yours. The Russians supplied the technology to your primitive Third World country. And Chinese scientists working in the US in the late 1990s stole warhead technology from US laboratories. The only time you little people can achieve something is when you steal something from other countries and pretend that you developed the technology yourself. Absolutely and truly pathetic.
