US Confrontation with China in Space Poised to Harm Japan Back on Earth

- This includes components in Japan and South Korea which both count China as their largest and most important import and export trade partners;

- The US by confronting China in the Asia-Pacific region threatens to undermine the peace, stability, and prosperity of all nations in the region, friend and foe alike;

China has the greatest manufacturing capacity. US has the greatest national debt.

The USA can’t even bring their stranded astronauts home!

I had a conversation with an American few days ago on X, I asked him why he and many others are so hostile towards China, he said because it is a shithole country and it doesn't deserve whatever it has today. Then I asked him if he has ever been in this country, he said he didn't need to but he had whatever needed to conclude his image of China. So I asked again, what exactly image was that, he said backward, closed and poor. Finally I couldn't helped to ask if he knew anything about the China which before the US even exists, and he said probably just another poor old country with some history. I wouldn't say some so-called politics elites in the US would say the difference from him, after all garlic now produced in China is another national security threat to the US coming from the mouth of a US congressman.

It won't be a problem for China. This was when China's top official directly told the US to its face: 'US should not delude itself into thinking it can engage with China from a position of strength.' Meanwhile, Washington is developing numerous strategies to deter China, but they haven't considered the consequences of engaging in real conflicts. They will feel the pain when China responds.

Thank you "The New Atlas". Amen.

China is not a threat but China is the target. 😅

Japan is forbidden from extensive ties with China.
Germany is forbidden from extensive ties with Russia.
South Korea is forbidden from extensive ties with North Korea.

See the game being played?

[Mel_Gerrard]

Japan, already badly damaged by decades of horrid US actions, from the US 's military occupation of the country to the devastating Plaza Accord, will never learn or have the backbone to push back.

US wants 3rd WW & here in NZ we have a launchsite for American & apparently apartheid Israel space program. We the people didn't vote for this 😮

[Ampel_off]

Interesting topic. Thanks for your work and all the background information Brian.

The US has enough issues controlling its own space ! Namely cranial space, a similar type of vacuum. Thanks for the vid take care from Australia

Well it easy to see who is the aggressor, has been that way for a couple of hundred years now. The hegemon needs to understand to rule by the sword is to die by the sword.

They call it the _"International Space Station, "_ yet Chinese scientists are not allowed on the ISS. Space exploration should be available for all of mankind. Even Russian cosmonauts can be on the ISS, but not Chinese taikonauts (i.e Chinese astronauts). So in the end, China built its own space station.

[daniellee]

Space Force, your one way ticket to space. Hear testimonies from our guys on the International Space Station!!

[robertyakhaman]

The U.S. just needs to mind its own business and take care of their people in the states!!

[canutereynolds]

Wonder how the US would react if China and Russia had some of their Space Forces in Cuba, Mexico, North and South America (to protect their homeland of course!

[nickl]

Japan might have forgotten about Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but China remembers Nanjing.

Thanks Brian Berletic for the good work. ❤

It's sad to see the end of Japan as just a colony of USA 😢

[frankcolumbo]

Leave it to Uncle Sam to militarize space.
