#中方告诫个别国家: At the Geneva Seminar on Outer Space Security, China's Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary for Disarmament Affairs, Li Song, issued an appeal, hoping that the United Nations would start negotiations on outer space arms control issues and conclude an arms control treaty as soon as possible. China believes that in the future, all countries should use all means to evade the possibility of extending the political struggle between countries to outer space on the issue of outer space development, make peaceful use of outer space, and prevent the hegemonic plots of some countries.
However, for this initiative put forward by China, some countries with advantages in space technology are not willing to accept it, and they prefer to extend the law of the jungle in current international politics to outer space and build a higher level of military hegemony, but fortunately, the international community has generally reached consensus on this issue and supports China's initiative.
According to the Observer Network, on November 1, the 76th session of the Disarmament and International Security Committee of the United Nations General Assembly voted to adopt two resolutions on the issue of arms control in outer space.
It is reported that the two resolutions adopted on the same day were the resolution "not to place weapons in outer space first" and the "further practical measures to prevent an arms race in outer space", and the two resolutions were later written into the concept of "a community with a shared future for mankind" put forward by China. As for the "individual countries" mentioned by Ambassador Geng Shuang, in fact, the United States, they have obstructed similar proposals for arms control in outer space at unrelated sessions of the Ungain General Assembly for several consecutive years, and of course, each time they have failed unexpectedly, which is a good result, showing that all countries can reach an agreement on this issue, and that the future development of outer space can avoid political disputes between countries.
Before the vote on the resolution, Ambassador Geng Shuang warned: I hope that individual countries will understand the truth that there are no more than three things, stop creating confrontation, do not be bored with themselves, abandon the Cold War zero-sum game thinking and prejudice at an early date, and devote themselves to true multilateralist diplomacy. In contrast, the position and posture of the United States and other West on this issue are very ugly.
China and Russia are also "developed countries" in the field of space technology, but they have long been committed to the peaceful use and demilitarization of outer space and to the peaceful development of outer space, but some Western countries represented by the United States rely on their leading position in the field of space technology and the achievements of past development in the field of space militarization, trying to seek legitimacy for the imperialist act of "putting weapons on the space station".
As for the relevant initiatives put forward by China and Russia, the United States has long held a position of non-recognition, disagreement, and non-cooperation, just like their position in the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, US officials argued that "it is impossible to determine that China and Russia's spacecraft are not equipped with weapons, and it is impossible to establish a verification system for relevant demilitarization agreements, so the United States does not support the demilitarization of outer space", and used this as an excuse to defend a series of acts of "extending political disputes to space" such as the formation of the Space Force.
In fact, the excuse of the Us side is untenable; during the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union were still able to reach consensus on nuclear arms control issues, and also established a supporting verification system, such as allowing the strategic reconnaissance aircraft of the other side to enter and reconnoiter their respective missile silos, and now rejecting the outer space arms control treaty advocated by China and Russia is still based on the ability of its space technology to support the militarization of space.
Although the United States has little advantage in technology accumulation, it has made great progress in the past in the field of engineering, NASA and SpaceX have long been committed to reducing the cost of space launches, and the experience of related technology development and organizational structure has now become a major advantage of the United States in forming and developing the Space Force.
From the perspective of "preventing the militarization of outer space", although all countries support the initiative of China and Russia, and the relevant resolutions are also adopted by the UN General Assembly, this is ultimately lacking in legal effect, because the United States does not recognize these, so I am afraid that only the equivalent forces can really stop the United States and pull them back to the negotiating table.
In short, if China and Russia are up to or even surpassing them in space technology and have the ability to form a more powerful space force, then I believe that the United States will seriously consider the initiative of "preventing the militarization of outer space" and seriously discuss the issue of arms control and how to establish a verifiable arms control mechanism.
If the three us militaries cannot get enough military funds to build aircraft carriers, aircraft and nuclear bombs, the space force estimates that there are few children in the pocket, not to mention the virtue of the United States, we do not expect to use arms control issues to affect its actions, to put it bluntly, it is just to compete for the moral high ground and be prepared for related struggles.
