Beijing secretly fires lasers to disable US satellites
By Francis Harris in Washington
(Filed: 26/09/2006)
China has secretly fired powerful laser weapons designed to disable American spy satellites by "blinding" their sensitive surveillance devices, it was reported yesterday.
How it works
The hitherto unreported attacks have been kept secret by the Bush administration for fear that it would damage attempts to co-opt China in diplomatic offensives against North Korea and Iran.

I would do the same if someone had a spy satellite over me
I reckon so! I'd have to say I'd do the same . .. .

Now that WE gave then the technology to launch their missiles into orbit maybe we can retaliate by shooting at their satellites …….do they have any? If not I’m sure we will soon be giving then that technology soon……….

Makes you wonder if this North Korea thing will lead to another Cold War between China and the U.S.
What do you mean "another" cold war between us and China, it never ended. The one between us and the Soviet Union "ended" with the fall of the Soviet Union, but China remained communist, largely anti-American, and secretive straight through our friendly years with the Russians (which may be coming to an end sooner rather than later, Putin's turned the Russian Federation into little more than a reformed Soviet Union, with people who disagree loudly dissappearing again, the state buying industries... etc.)... Stalin would be proud if it weren't for the fact that Putin isn't nearly as public about it.

Let me rephrase: Another Cold War. This time, between the U.S. and China rather than the U.S. and Russia.

And yet we trade with them, probably the main reason why their economy is on fire. Just about anything now that is sold is MADE IN CHINA. But people are stupid and will continue to buy these items. Just like oil and the middle east, we are funding their military with our happy meal toys.
