Weaponizing space inevitable, says a reasonable-sounding Chinese communist lady

Lev Navrozov emigrated from the Soviet Union in 1972. His columns are today read in both English and Russian. To learn more about Mr. Navrozov's work with the Center for the Survival of Western Democracies, click here.
Many thousands of years ago, a nation lived on its native territory, often never suspecting of the existence of other nations and unable to leave their native territory, since it was, for example, an island, and its natives were unable to travel great distances by water.
Later water became a new war environment. Hitler could not invade England, since the English navy was too powerful. So he invaded Russia (and was routed on its vast land expanses).
Opened about half a century ago was outer space, beyond the atmosphere and stratosphere. Aircraft can fly and fight only where is Òair.Ó Space rocketry and satellites can move in outer space.
Hitler could not send air force to bomb the United States the way he bombed England. No aircraft could carry enough fuel to cross the Atlantic, fight over the U.S.A., and fly back. But in space, everything is possible. Satellites can fly around the globe for the same reason the Earth revolves around the Sun.
In short, space war is possible, since the owners of China believe that this is the best war to annihilate the United States and thus become the owners of the world, as was predicted several years ago by Chi Haotian, who is now 80 years old, but who was the Minister of National Defense of China up to 2003. America has to defend itself against ChinaÕs space war, since the outer space spreads above every country, including the United States. The division of the outer space into areas will not prevent a country such as China from violating the borders of these areas.
A lot of legal and government paper has been used in the past decades to conclude outer space agreements.
In the democratic countries, it has often been assumed (even with respect to HitlerÕs invasions) that wars originate from misunderstanding, and present or potential totalitarian aggressors can be persuaded to keep peace. Hence many savants in the democratic West wouldnÕt hear what General Chi Haotian of China said about the need for China to be the first to annihilate the U.S.A. and for China to rule the world for the next century.
The Chinese newspaper The China Post, published in English and sold, for example, in Australia, carried an article entitled ÒChinese Officer Predicts Weapons in SpaceÓ ( seeYahoo!). The senior officer named Yao, Òwho directs the Asia-Pacific Office at the Academy of Military Science in Beijing,Ó proves to be a woman. Of course! Let the English-speaking in Australia and elsewhere know about the scrupulous equality between men and women in the new China. Says Yao: ÒMy wish is we really want to keep space as a peaceful place for human beings.Ó Of course! Let the English-speaking all over the world see what an advanced woman she is, thinking above all about Òhuman beings.Ó
ShouldnÕt she appeal to the like-minded people and complain to the government? Oh, no! ÒThe government and the partyÓ cannot be wrong, and to complain in this case would be treasonable.
Said Yao: ÒBut personally, I am pessimistic about it [the consensus]. My prediction: Outer space is going to be weaponized in our lifetime.Ó
So it looks like a predicted fate. There has been no one in China to speak publicly for the weaponization of the outer space. But this is what will happen Òin our lifetime.Ó
For the owners of China, the advantage of the space war is that it is new to all countries. The Òadvanced countriesÓ had many years to develop tanks and aviation for WWI, then two decades to develop them between WWI and WWII, and six decades to continue to develop them between 1945 and today. As for the space war, China and the United States Òbegan from the beginning.Ó The owners of China fight for their world domination as per Chi Haotian, and the U.S.A. is against it. But in the 21st century, China and the United States began even some space war excanges. The space war is on. Who will win it? What is clear is that U.S. President Obama has been siding with the U.S. enemy when he proclaimed that Òthe U.S.-China relationsÓ will Òshape the 21st century,Ó and the U.S. and China Òare poised to make steady progress in some of the most important issues of our time.Ó
On 08/08/2009, I requested Yahoo! to search ÒChinaÕs space and global weaponry,Ó and I received 271,000 descriptions of such weapons.
Ram Narayanan, a journalist and the head of the ÒU.S.-India Friendship,Ó has sent me an article published by John Lee in ÒForeign Policy MagazineÓ of July 28, 2009. ÒWhen it comes to U.S.-China policy,Ó writes John Lee, ÒWashington is broadly separated into the ÔfunctionalistsÕ and the ÔstrategistsÕ.Ó The wisdom of the article can be presented in straight terms as follows. It is wrong to identify the interests of every citizen with those of his country. The ÒfunctionalistsÓ are often motivated by wealth. Some of them are ready to sell the United States to China. Nothing new! The U.S. President Obama is ready to serve them as a ÒpartnerÓ of the ÒPeopleÕs Republic of China.Ó Well, many of those who voted for him were motivated by their desire to avoid poverty. Why not help those who are motivated by wealth?
The ÒstrategistsÓ are worried that the owners of China will defeat the United States in the space war, to begin with.
An ocean borders with a country only at its shore. The outer space spreads all over, and space weapons can be positioned over any country.
As witnesses to history, we will see what will happen, that is, whether the owners of China will own the world and kill us, as Chi Haotian joyfully predicted and as is suggested by the fact that ChinaÕs annual output of steel exceeds that of the U.S.A. many times over.
