Saltzman used to describe China’s explosive progress in space, the term “incredible person” was the term “incredible person” as he warned the United States that it was on a path to losing its dominance in orbit.
Salzman says China Designed to disable enemy satellites, including dynamic strikes, radio frequency jamming and indicator energy weapons, aimed to disable enemy satellites.
Meanwhile, the U.S. is “resource-limited” and is still weighing what companies we can get the most practicality from,” he said.
The general’s testimony was because Congress weighed how to deal with China’s growing aggression in space and whether the space force had the tools to keep pace. China has increased its military spending by 7% this year, stocking anti-satellite missiles and claims to have guided energy weapons that use concentrated energy beams to block satellite signals.

Salzman warned that China would destroy satellites in orbit, a risk that could trigger global disaster action, suggesting that Russia’s 2021 anti-satellite missile tests and debris from China’s 2007 tests continue to threaten spacecraft security.
Salzman said China’s space-based target capabilities have been “the most impressive” in recent years, and now hundreds of satellites are working to track U.S. assets in orbit. This extension gives Space power “New Mission Set”: Denied China’s ability to monitor US satellites in real time.
However, Salzman warned the United States was lagging behind. Even if space becomes an increasingly controversial military field, the space power budget is absolutely shrinking. He said lawmakers still operate with an “invisible, indifferent” mentality.
“In terms of policy systems, this is still a lower priority,” Salzman said. “The modern battlefield must take into account the realm of space. If we cannot continue to protect our use of domain names – we cannot deny our opponents – it will be related to military objectives in any other area.

“I believe we have more tasks than we have funded,” Salzman said.
For example, the United States does not operate quantum satellites, but China does not. Quantum satellites can realize ultra-safe communication and advanced navigation technology.
China’s investment in long-range precision strikes and reusable launch vehicles “represents a turning point in space access, which could lead China to surpass U.S. leadership, Salzman said.

Just a few weeks ago, Michael Guetlein, vice president of Space Force operations, revealed that China has been practicing satellite “dog fighting”, which shows its growing ability to conduct complex operations in orbit.
He said space forces observed that “five different objects in space manipulate each other and outside in synchronization and control.”
“This is the fight we call in space,” Guetlein said. “They are practicing strategies, techniques and procedures to orbit from one satellite to another.”
