Evidence: Alphabetical
- Catalog of previous foreign disruptions of U.S space assets
- China and Russia seeking to develop comparable tactical satnav capabilities to U.S. GPS system
- China's military space doctrine includes concept of space dominance through offensive and defensive means
- China has consistently resisted efforts to share any information on its space or defense policies
- China has resisted space debris measures within EU Code of Conduct and sees effort as too limited to European Union
- Convergence of additive manufacturing and microsat technologies could create potential for democratization of space technology
- Chinese attack on U.S. space assets would require months of planning and movements that would be easily detected by U.S. imaging satellites
- Chinese attack on early warning satellites unlikely as they would risk nuclear war for no strategic gain
- Chinese attack on U.S. satellites would not advance their military interests
- China space war could make space unusable for hundreds of years
- Chinese pursuit of military space technology can be traced to their historical tendency to avoid being dominated by a technologically superior state
- China views its space program as critical to goals of national unification and international prestige
- Case of ABM treaty shows that movement towards arms control can evolve over time
- China, North Korea, and Iran are the states most likely to undertake destabilizing activities in outer space
- China lacks launch capacity for effective campaign to degrade U.S. military space assets
- China unlikely to want to risk consequences - both political and environmental - from initiating an ASAT attack
- China could technically degrade U.S. access to GPS signal for only 95 minutes before redundant systems kick in
- China may not want to attack tactical naval communications because it would increase the risks of escalation
- Catastrophic space debris crashes are already occurring with one Ecuadorian satellite taken out of commission after one week in service
- Collision avoidance measures increasingly common with catastrophic "Gravity" scenario procedures already in place for ISS
- China's clear intent for military space program is to prepare for possible war with United States over Taiwan or South China Seas
- China's military space efforts directed through Cental Military Commission underlying the strategic motivations driving these
- China's military space power ambitions unlikely to diminish as it gains in civil and scientific space power
- China plans for space conflict across the whole spectrum, escalating to kinetic energy attacks only out of operational necessity
- China has conducted three tests of a KE-ASAT system and appears to be actively developing an anti-satellite weapons system
- Commercial imaging providers might disable their assets rather than risk them coming under attack from U.S. adversaries
- Chinese ASAT test and Russian satellite collision account for more than half of all currently tracked satellite breakup debris
- Could further the concept of liability for space debris damage by extending existing IADC guidelines to recognize fault
- China has conducted three anti-satellite weapon tests using a range of techniques
- China is working on expanding both its offensive and defensive space capabilities
- China is pursuing missile defense capabilities but remains technically behind U.S.
- China has the most rapidly maturing civillian space program in the world
- China conducted what appears to be a test of geo-synchronous counterspace technologies
- China continues to test anti-satellite weapons belying their claim to be pursuing space for "peaceful purposes"
- China unlikely to be able to fully disable U.S. access to communication and navigation satellites
- China is currently pursuing all technological elements necessary to achieve outer space dominance
