[The United States admitted for the first time that it has offensive capabilities in space. The Ministry of Defense responded] On September 24, the Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference. Colonel Jiang Bin, spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, answered reporters’ questions. A reporter asked: Recently, the Secretary of the U.S. Air Force confirmed that the United States has "space control weapons" in orbit. This is the first time that the United States has admitted that it has offensive capabilities in space. Outsiders believe that this may promote a global space arms race. What is China’s comment on this? Jiang Bin said that China has always adhered to the peaceful use of space, actively played a constructive role in maintaining space security, and promoted the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind in the space field. The United States' push to weaponize and transform space into a battlefield will only continue to intensify the space arms race, turn space into a new battlefield for great power competition, and ultimately destroy the common home of mankind.
