Talk about China again! Russian media: The commander of the US Space Force calls China's space technology development a "step-by-step challenge"

[Global Network Report Intern Reporter Wang Yixuan] His own move to promote the militarization of space has aroused widespread concern in the world, but some people in the United States have constantly talked about China. According to the Russian Satellite News Agency reported on the 20th, the commander of the US Space Force, John Raymond, claimed that China and Russia are developing capabilities in the space field, but the difference is that China's development speed is very fast, which is a "step by step challenge" for the United States.

The Pentagon calls China's rapidly evolving space capabilities a "pressing challenge" for the United States.

According to reports, Raymond said on the 19th local time: "I think they (China and Russia) are developing their own (space) capabilities ... I think the difference is that China has gone very, very fast, and they have an economic engine that allows them to move forward at a pace that is really worth paying attention to, and I think that's why I see them as a 'step-by-step challenge'. ”

Raymond also declared that China and Russia "have shown through their actions that they are developing the capabilities to block our access to space and seize the advantages that space has to offer." ”

As the commander of the US Space Force, Raymond's remarks are undoubtedly playing up the "China space threat theory" that some people in the United States have often talked about. For similar arguments, the Chinese Foreign Ministry responded as early as 2018 when the United States began to establish the Space Force, when the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said that outer space is the common property of all mankind, and China has always advocated the peaceful use of outer space, opposed the weaponization of outer space and the arms race in outer space, and even more opposed to using outer space as a battlefield. It is hoped that all parties will make joint efforts to earnestly safeguard lasting peace and tranquillity in outer space.
