A few days after the US tested the satellites ‘dogfighting’ satellites in a low Earth orbit on China, Beijing has clapped back with a sharp denial. A report by China’s state-driven Global Times dismissed American allegations as a “budget-driven” strategy, which was part of a comprehensive effort to prevent space advances by emerging powers “and to preserve American dominance in the region.
The report insisted that Beijing’s space program was for peaceful purposes, “dedicated to pursuing human space technology”.
Michael Guitlin, Vice Chief General of Space Operations of US Space Force (USSF), claimed at a defense conference last week that the agency had seen “five separate items in space and in synchronizing around one -two and around each other.
Beijing said that the story of Shri Guitalin was an attempt to justify high military expenses and propagate the story “China, Russia Theory Theory”.
“After US President Trump’s return to the office, the new administration targeted to cut military expenses. Against this background, various branches of the US Army were desperate for budget growth and demanded to secure more money by hypnotizing the so -called” threats “from China, Russia and others.”

Dogfighting satellites
The USSF stated that Mr. Gualein was referring to three Chinese Xiyan -24C practical satellites and two Shijian -6 05A/B practical space items, which were seen doing complex exercises in the orbit of the Earth.
“This is what we call dogfighting in space. They are practicing strategy, techniques and processes to conduct on-arbitra space operations from one satellite to another,” said Mr. Gutlin.
“This is the most complex and challenging strategic environment that we have seen in a long time, if never,” Sri Guelen exposed, saying that the force is “needed, if necessary, the ability to defeat aggression”, “requires” the benefit in our favor “in the future.
“There used to be a capacity interval between us and our close colleagues, which were mainly inspired by the technological progress of the United States that the ability difference has become quite compressed.”
Ever since three Xian satellites were launched in 2022, Western military officials and experts claimed that they are being deployed to test military capabilities, such as struggling with satellites from rival nations in space.
