China said on Wednesday that the Trump administration plans to build the so-called "Golden Dome" The missile defense system that protects the United States from missile attacks has "strong offensive significance" and will increase the risk of global arms race and militarization of outer space. President Trump said Tuesday that his administration “formally chose buildings for this state-of-the-art system” and that a budget package that Congress is currently considering will provide $25 billion in funding for the project.
An unclassified assessment by the Defense Intelligence Agency shows that the military expects to compete with the larger missile threat “on the scale and maturity of the next decade” and specifically notes: “China and Russia are developing a range of new delivery systems to capitalize on the current gap in U.S. ballistic missile defense.”
"North Korea succeeded Ballistic missiles tested "There is enough range to reach the entire homeland, and Iran has space launch vehicles that can be used by 2035 if Tehran decides to pursue capabilities, it can be used to develop viable intercontinental ballistic missiles," the DIA assessment said, warning that "no part of the territory hits existing ICBMS."
But China has always been Deepen ties with Russia At the same time, it is fast Develop its missile and other military capabilitiesincluding its nuclear weapons, accused the Trump administration of obsessed with U.S. defense and risking global security.
"In pursuing the 'U.S. first' policy, the United States has been seeking absolute security. This violates the principle that the security of all countries should not be damaged and undermines the global strategic balance and stability. China is seriously concerned about this," said China's diplomatic ministry," Mao Ning of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, on Wednesday, according to the Busise Movery International Agencies.
She said the White House plan “increases the risk of space becoming a battlefield, adds disaster to the arms race, and undermines international security.” “We urge the United States to abandon the development and deployment of global missile defense systems as soon as possible.”
The U.S. military said over the years that China and Russia have deployed weapons in space. Report recommendations From laser weapons to Chinese satellites, American satellites can be disabled or even captured. Last year, the United States warned Russia not to deploy Anti-satellite weapons with nuclear capabilities Analysts believe that before an outbreak is launched, they can wander in space for a long time to disable all satellites around them.
Meanwhile, the Kremlin, in Russia's capital, said on Wednesday that Mr. Trump's plan requires consultations between Moscow and Washington, but a spokesman said it was largely a "sovereign matter" for the United States.
This is softer than the attitude adopted by President Vladimir Putin's regime, which recently issued a statement saying the new U.S. missile defense system would explicitly give Moscow a boost, "to greatly strengthen Arsenal to carry out combat operations in space."
Mr. Trump told reporters at the White House when he announced the news on Tuesday that he had not spoken to Putin about his plans, but he said he would "at the right time."
In a joint statement issued earlier this month, China and Russia said the Golden Dome project was "stable deep in nature," two U.S. opponents said that this would turn the space into an "a arena of armed confrontation."
