Seems China wants the data from our little satellite shootdown last night. Beijing is apparently itching to get the data from the shootdown.
Here's our interpretation of what the JCS will recommend the State Department responds with:
Suck it you Communist wankers!
But hey, I might be speaking out of turn. NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"China is continuously following closely the possible harm caused by the U.S. action to outer space security and relevant countries," spokesman Liu Jianchao said at a regularly scheduled news conference.
"China requests the U.S. ... provide to the international community necessary information and relevant data in a timely and prompt way," Liu said.
Ummm, can you also say "Hell no" resoundingly? We thought you could.
China's objections signal its skepticism over whether the satellite downing was truly necessary and unease over apparent U.S. mastery of a key military technology that Beijing is also pursuing. They also appear aimed at turning the tables on U.S. criticism of Beijing's own shootdown of a defunct Chinese satellite last year.
No. China objections to the shootdown really is that we beat them to the successful proof of concept and the real-world situational proof the system works. Do they REALLY think the world should bow to their Communist Overlords just because they're hosting the Olympics this year?
Hey Beijing, your policies on military superiority suck, your policies on treatment of your citizenry are total shiat, and.......NEENER NEENER NEENER, we beat you to the punch!!!
Better go back and re-read "The Art of War" one more time.
Oh nevermind, it won't help anyway.
