China Expands Military Satellite Network, Threatening US Space Dominance

China's rapid deployment of military satellites aims to target and track US forces, potentially altering the strategic balance in space.

China has developed a sophisticated military satellite network capable of targeting US troops, particularly in scenarios involving Taiwan.
The US intelligence community warns that China's satellite capabilities could disrupt long-held US advantages in space-based warfare.
Major General Greg Gagnon highlighted the strategic shift, noting China's satellites now cover global movements and can engage targets at great distances.
China's satellite expansion includes over 400 launches in two years, with many designed for military reconnaissance and surveillance.
US officials stress the urgency of adapting to these developments to maintain competitive in space technology and defense.
