China Accuses US of Militarizing Space
Speaking to reporters for a briefing on Wednesday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning accused the US of seeking to militarize outer space, after the Pentagon issued a new policy document discussing possible military operations beyond the earth.
Mao said the approach outlined in the document “poses a grave challenge to the peace and security of outer space,” and “fully exposes the US ambition of increasing military build-up and war preparedness… in outer space.”
The spokesperson went on to accuse Washington of “stonewalling” a “space arms control initiative” led by China and Russia, and of “further aggravating the trend of turning outer space into a weapon and a battlefield.”
