Re: [Marxism] Chinese weapon test "against spirit of co-operation"

This is just China's polite way of letting the US know that it can take out 
all their satellites, which are absolutely essential to US military 
functioning.
For a startling analysis of US military vulnerability to China's 
capabilities check out this article:

Striking the US where it hurts

By Victor N Corpus Victor N Corpus is a retired brigadier general of the 
Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP); former chief of the Intelligence 
Service, AFP; and holds a master's degree in public administration from the 
Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University.

"China now has the capability to identify and track satellites. And for more 
than two decades they have been busy developing anti-satellite weapons. 
China has been developing maneuverable nano-satellites that can neutralize 
other satellites. They do their work by maneuvering near a target satellite 
and neutralizing the target by electronic jamming, electro-magnetic pulse 
generation, clinging to the target and physically destroying it, bumping the 
target out of orbit, or simply exploding to bring the target satellite down 
with it."
