Chinese Test Anti-Satellite Weapon

CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS

Is this different than the U.S. test in the 80s or the destruction of the falling satellite in the summer of 2007? The key difference may be how the U.S explains their actions (whether you accept it or not) and the complete lack of Chinese explanation for their test. The other key difference; the Chinese test caused hundreds of pieces of debris that are still in orbit. The debris from the U.S. satellite interception and the test in the 80s has since safely deorbited. The Chinese debris (at a higher altitude) will be in orbit for decades - a continued threat to all satellites and the international space station.

Still waiting for a formal Chinese explanation for their actions.

Brain-washed fucking western idiot.

Russian, China, Muslim countries, and the rest of the world know American actions always contradict their words, say freedom and democracy, but what they do are invasion and violence, proof, America recently veto against UN anti Israeli settlement, but Hillary US foreign minister said Israeli settlement is illegitimate, my fart is far more consistent than US policy, it's loud and stink

[stalkingalizee]

Thank China for creating more space junk in one day than the rest of the world in history.

So when America shoots down a malfunctioning satellite, nobody cares about that debris, but when the Chinese do it everybody is like OMG? Fucking hypocrisy

[EvolutionXEngine]

@OnmyRedEye What you said here was stupid. The Chinese government is what they are talking about. China may not be a evil empire but it has peace far from it's mind. BTW Vietnam started when the NVA attacked western backed South Vietnam. The only thing the US did wrong was stay in it for fifteen years. Race has NOTHING to do with it.

It took them three shots and they left a mess when they finally finished.

Way to go, China. You sure showed us.

I don't like to consider my self on anyone's side. I feel if anything its another cold war. The US and Russia built weapons and machines to destroy each others weapons and machines. Its the same now. Only now its in space and not in the air. If we, the people of earth, ever want to go anywhere as a civilaization we must stop acting like children fighting over toys and space in the sandbox. I just dont understand the point of fighting over everything on this one little ball of dirt in space. V/R

[shahoooooo]

china rules!
