The Chinese regime’s aggressive efforts to dominate outer space posed “the most immediate threat” to the U.S. satellite capabilities and ground infrastructure, according to the general nominated to lead the U.S. Space Force.

“The most immediate threat, in my opinion, is the pace with which our strategic challengers, first and foremost the Chinese, are aggressively pursuing capabilities that can disrupt, degrade and ultimately even destroy our satellite capabilities and disrupt our ground infrastructure,” Lt. Gen. Bradley C. Saltzman said.
