Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian: "I can responsibly confirm to you that in July and October this year, the Starlink satellite launched by the US Space Exploration Technology Corporation has approached the Chinese space station twice." During this period, Chinese astronauts are on missions inside the space station, and for safety reasons, the Chinese space station has taken emergency collision avoidance measures. ”
Zhao Lijian pointed out that the United States claims the so-called concept of responsible outer space behavior, but it ignores the obligations of the international treaties on outer space, posing a serious threat to the safety of astronauts' lives, which is a typical double standard. Exploring and peacefully using outer space is the common cause of all mankind, and China has always used outer space peacefully in the spirit of seeking the welfare of all mankind. The US side should respect the international system of outer space based on international law, take immediate measures to prevent the recurrence of such incidents, adopt a responsible attitude, and safeguard the life safety of astronauts in orbit and the safe and stable operation of space facilities.
