Adm. Davidson: China Assaults International Order « Breaking Defense - Defense industry news, analysis and commentary
BD: What aspect of China's military modernization do you find most worrisome or remarkable? Davidson : The most profound change resulting from China's military modernization has been in its space capabilities. Back in 2000 China only had 10 satellites in orbit, and this year it will launch more satellites than any other nation on the planet (emphasis added). That will greatly improve China's capabilities in terms of communications, surveillance, and offensive space systems possibly threatening our space assets. That represents a profound change. https://breakingdefense.com/2019/07/adm-davidson-china-assaults-international-order/
