China may set up first military base on the moon

China leading US in space race - may set up first military base on the moon

The Chinese are beating the U.S. in the new "space race," a military strategy expert says. Australia-born defense analyst Greg Copley claims Communist China is working fast towards controlling space with its weapons technology and may even set up the first military base on the moon.

Greg Copley, president of the International Strategic Studies Association (ISSA), says the United States may have won the race to put a man on the moon decades ago; but the Communist Chinese, he believes, have clearly moved ahead of America in the military space race. One recent indication of that, he notes, was China's successful testing of a satellite-killing missile earlier this month.

China's military space program has "very much been speeded up by the transfer of U.S. technology under President Clinton" to the People's Republic of China, Copley observes. That communist regime has since been "investing heavily in space capabilities," he says, "including permanent moon basing, which would enable space-based weapons to neutralize strategic ballistic missiles -- and, of course, satellites."

China has definitely moved into the lead when it comes to the military use of outer space, the ISSA spokesman says. The Chinese have set a goal of putting a military base on the moon within the next decade, he points out, and they are working on other space-warfare projects and technologies as well, such as laser-based systems.

The Chinese are serious about controlling space, Copley asserts. And China's ability to get into space with manned space systems and to get onto the moon with a military base would give that nation a serious strategic advantage over others, he says.
