Neighboring countries have accelerated the construction of anti-China satellite spy networks

China's neighbors are accelerating the construction of spy satellite networks to counter threats from China and North Korea.

Voice of America reported on March 19 that Asian countries had strengthened satellite networks to monitor military operations in the region. This type of reconnaissance satellite can monitor ground conditions from an altitude of 500 kilometers, and can detect everything from the movement of soldiers to the launch of missiles. The information collected through this method helps countries precisely target their enemies in military conflicts.

According to Reuters, the space technology company SpaceX built a network of hundreds of spy satellites under a secret contract with US intelligence agencies. If the plan succeeds, it will greatly improve the ability of the United States and its military to quickly detect potential targets around the world. After the news spread, Chinese military and official media accused the United States of threatening global security.

Observers said that China, despite its criticism of the United States, is also working to expand its network of spy satellites, and that the Chinese military has invested heavily over the past two years in developing SpaceX's Starlink constellation of satellites in near-Earth orbit during the war in Ukraine.
