China and US Engage in Space Militarization Dispute Amidst Taiwan Strait Tensions
China accuses the United States of militarizing outer space and negatively impacting space security and global strategic stability, following its protest over a U.S. Navy plane's transit through the Taiwan Strait. China emphasizes its commitment to the peaceful use of space and opposes the weaponization of space and any arms race. Tensions between the two countries remain high, with limited military-to-military contacts and ongoing disputes over Taiwan.
