China cere Statelor Unite „să înceteze să se pregătească de un război în spaţiu” • Newsweek România

China has urged the United States to stop preparing for a space war following the U.S. military's confirmation of deploying "space control" weapons in orbit. The Chinese Foreign Ministry warned against an arms race in space, emphasizing the need to halt military capabilities deployment. The U.S. Space Force stated that its armed space control systems are designed to defend against hostile actions from adversaries, particularly China and Russia, who view space as a potential battlefield. The militarization of space has been a concern since the Cold War, with major powers exploring ways to weaponize satellites. The 1967 Outer Space Treaty prohibits the deployment of mass destruction weapons in orbit, yet nations continue to seek ways to conduct military operations in space.
