While American diplomats express concern over Chinese military build-up, spying, and human rights record China presses forward. It's as if the U.S. were talking to herself. As the old saying goes... it's mind over matter. China does not mind what the U.S. says, because the U.S. does not matter to the Chinese. The U.S. position has become irrelevant to the hidden Chinese agenda.
Experts: US Should Worry About Chinese Anti-Satellite Device

China's destruction of one of its own satellites last month marks a turning point for the United States, in terms of the potential for military confrontation in space.
"It appears that the test in January was the fourth time it had been tested, the first time that it successfully conducted an intercept," he noted.
U.S. space strategists are especially concerned about China's development of radio frequency weapons that could jam transmission signals, as well as its development of ground-based lasers, which could in effect temporarily blind U.S. spy satellites.
"U.S. space planners are most concerned about the launching of small Chinese satellites into orbits that are very close to key U.S. intelligence, reconnaissance and communications satellites," he added. "Such parasite micro-satellites are presumed to be time bombs that could blind or cripple American military operations, not to mention communications and even U.S. financial communications, any communications, civilian communications."
