During a regular press briefing on Monday, Lin Jian, spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, reiterated that China is committed to utilizing outer space for peaceful purposes. He responded to media reports regarding the United States' plans to launch a new type of satellite jammer next year, which is speculated to target Chinese and Russian satellites.
Lin pointed out that China does not aspire to participate in a space race or pursue superiority in space. He criticized the US for treating outer space as a "battlefield" and expanding its military capabilities in this arena, forming military alliances and contributing to the ongoing militarization of outer space. Such actions are deemed by Lin to be significant threats to the shared security and developmental interests of all nations involved in outer space activities.
Furthermore, Lin urged the United States to retract its "irresponsible remarks" and halt its military growth in outer space. He called for the US to take necessary steps to help maintain lasting peace and security in outer space for the benefit of all countries.
