BEIJING (AP) – China confirmed Tuesday that the country used a missile to disable a satellite in space. The Chinese Foreign Ministry assured that the space program is not a threat to the rest of the world.
A ministry spokesperson reiterated the position that the country does not want an arms race in space. “China has never participated and will never participate in any form of arms race in space.”
The United States said last week that China had destroyed a weather satellite during the weapons test. The Americans and Russia previously conducted such tests.
