The successes of China and the Chinese armed forces in space threaten the leadership of the United States in this area. This was announced at a conference at the Australian Institute of Strategic Policy by the Lieutenant General of the US Space Forces Nina Armano, writes Reuters.
“I think that they (China – Ed.) may well catch up and overtake us. Of course. They achieved progress quickly, amazingly fast,” she said.
.
Lieutenant General recalled that Beijing has traditionally lagged behind in the space race where the USSR and the USA were leading, but now China’s serious successes are forced to worry Washington and other countries.

“(China – Ed.) This is the only country that has the intention to change the world order, and economic, diplomatic, military and technological power to do this,” added Nina Armano.
