U.S. Space Command Calls China's Space Development a Serious Threat to U.S.

U.S. Army Gen. James Dickinson, commander of the U.S. Space Command, told reporters on a teleconference from Hawaii that China’s space developments constitute a serious threat to the United States. “They continue to build and build capabilities that really, quite frankly, hold most of our assets at risk in the space domain. It really is an advancement ... in their capabilities,” he said. “Their understanding (is) that space is a very important piece to not only their economic or the global economic environment, but also the military environment. We continue to watch that very closely as they continue to increase capabilities.”
