Is this man serious? We’re going to tell China what it can or cannot do? Of course not! A day without a republican sounding a false alarm would be like a day without breakfast. Know this: Without any alarms to sound or sins to battle, there would be no republicans.
I suppose Hu Jintao could look at Jon Kyl and ask; “You, and what army?”

Senator urges robust U.S. stance on China space moves

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - China’s test of an anti’satellite weapon this month was a “wake-up call” that should make the United States get serious about threats in space, a Republican senator said on Monday.

Jon Kyl of Arizona said China’s destruction of an aging Chinese weather satellite with a ground-based ballistic missile underscored the vulnerability of U.S. security and communications assets in space.

“Chinese military doctrine and numerous writings make it clear China does not believe space can or should be free of military capabilities,” said Kyl.

On January 11, China used a ground-based ballistic missile to knock out an aging Chinese weather satellite about 537 miles above Earth, scattering dangerous debris that could damage other satellites for years.

China confirmed the blast 12 days later but denied it was seeking an arms race in space.

Kyl told the conservative Heritage Foundation think tank that China posed a multifaceted space threat with broad capabilities. Russia, Iran, North Korea and other states with missile capabilities also could destroy satellites, he said.
