Chapter 297 Space Development Convention

Both China and the United States have space-based weapons, and there is a big gap in the performance of their space-based weapons, but this does not affect the powerful deterrent capability of space-based weapons.

For example, only a country with a hydrogen bomb can be called a great power, and a country with an atomic bomb can ensure that its interests are not infringed upon by a major power.

The powerful deterrent power of space-based weapons is the guarantee for the security of major countries. In the future, it will also be the standard weapon of the big powers, and without space-based weapons, it can only be slaughtered by others.

Space-based weapons can change orbits at any time and launch missiles at designated targets on the earth.

Space-based weapons are in a low-earth orbit 1,000 kilometers above the ground, and it is difficult for weapons on the ground to hit space-based weapons.

Countries with space-based weapons engage in conventional warfare with other countries, and other countries can only be beaten passively.

The only thing that can threaten space-based weapons is space-based weapons, but there is no shelter in space at all, and the situation around space-based weapons can be seen at a glance.

If space-based weapons really attack space-based weapons, it can only be if a war has broken out between two countries, and the war has developed from a conventional war to a nuclear war.

In this case, the only way to do this is to drop the nuclear warhead and wait for the earth to restart or for the rest of the people to pick up the bottle caps.

At the height of the Cold War confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union, there was not a single incident in which a strategic nuclear submarine attacked a strategic nuclear submarine with missiles.

It's just that our ship was ordered to ram your ship, and this kind of savage collision in the ocean.

The great powers should exercise restraint among themselves, and no one will suddenly use space-based weapons, except in extreme cases.

With both China and the United States possessing space-based weapons, the nuclear deterrent forces for maintaining world peace have also entered a state of relative equilibrium.

When they are unable to gain their own benefits under intimidation, the major powers will naturally start negotiations between them and resolve disputed issues through negotiations.

Foreign Minister Hua led a team to the United States to negotiate with the US Secretary of State, and the two sides had frank talks and exchanged views, and the talks were beneficial.

The actual situation is that at the negotiation table, the representatives of the two countries widen their eyes, slap the table and start arguing, and they are competing with whoever has the loudest voice and can sit down to talk, which is a very big progress.

The differences between the two sides are very large, the United States wants to gradually dismantle space-based weapons, and Huaxia wants to fully inform the location of space-based weapons.

The United States' space-based weapons are more advanced in their nuclear warheads, and their tonnage is also larger, so they can carry more strategic nuclear missiles.

At present, there is not much difference between the number of space-based weapons between the two countries, and the reduction of space-based weapons means limiting the number of space-based weapons, which is very unfavorable to China.

Huaxia's space-based weapons missiles are more flexible and can directly attack the space-based weapons of the United States in space, completely revealing their location, and the United States will be very passive.

After several rounds of urgent consultations, the US Secretary of State came to China to hold talks with the Chinese Foreign Minister.

After cordial talks, the two sides fully exchanged views and enhanced their understanding.

After several rounds of negotiations, the negotiating teams of Huaxia and the United States both knew each other's bottom line.

No one took advantage of this negotiation, but everyone knew that they had to achieve results, otherwise it would be easy to get into trouble.

China and the United States each made a concession and finally reached the "Space Development Convention" agreement.

The Space Development Convention is divided into two aspects, military and civilian, and binds the signatory countries.

On the military side, the Convention regulates the types and sizes of space weapons.

It is not permissible to deploy weapons that are devastating to civilians, such as chemical or biological weapons.

It is not permissible to arbitrarily attack the normal operation of the spacecraft of various countries.

Under the provisions of the agreement on the non-proliferation of space-based weapons, China and the United States will work together to restrict other countries from developing space-based weapons.

If space-based weapons pass through the airspace of the United States and China, they must inform the other side of the status of space-based weapons.

When space-based weapons are activated, it is necessary to inform the other side to prevent strategic miscalculation.

The military aspect of the Space Development Convention is simply to prevent strategic miscalculations between the two countries and to work together to control space-based weapons technology and suppress the development of backward countries.

This is a clause acceptable to both China and the United States, and for example, if a ballistic missile test is carried out now, other countries need to be notified.

Each country also monitors ballistic missiles at all times, and if it detects a threat to itself, it will immediately retaliate and activate a nuclear counterattack plan.

The Space Development Convention also has a civilian provision.

The main purpose is the peaceful use of space resources, in line with the principle that whoever develops and occupies it enjoys sovereignty.

and international cooperation on a number of common issues.

For example, the problem left over from the past, the space garbage patch composed of scrapped spacecraft, which affects the development of modern aerospace.

In the convention, it is stipulated that the various space powers cooperate with each other and pay for services to solve space junk.

China and the United States formally signed the "Space Development Convention," which immediately caused an international uproar.

Originally, other countries were still predicting that the international situation was not good, so how could they stand in line.

As a result, tensions began to subside with the signing of a treaty.

Major media invited experts to begin to analyze the significance of the signing of the "Space Development Convention".

Zhong Sheng, a special commentator of the People's Daily: "The signing of the "Space Development Convention" represents that the world has entered a state of peace, and now the world's major powers have gradually begun to go to space because of technological progress.

Space is rich in resources, enough to accommodate all the countries on Earth.

The root cause of conflicts between countries is the conflict of interests, and as long as there are visible and huge interests, this conflict will be effectively bridged. ”

CNN Special Commentator Thomas: "The signing of the Space Development Convention marks the beginning of the partition of space.

This is very much like the early days of the Great Voyage, the undiscovered territory, whoever discovers and occupies it, that territory is theirs.

To develop space, the most important thing is to have technology to develop the territory, and to have the force to defend the territory.

Now our country is catching up with this good time, first of all, to develop space resources, and not to get caught up in a war between two great powers because of some conflict of interests. ”

Russia Today newspaper: "China and the United States are going to set off a wave of carving up space alone, and the country wants to break through space-based weapons technology as soon as possible."

Otherwise, in the days to come, the state will not be able to intervene at all, and we will not even be as good as a small country. ”

Aliyi, a special commentator of the British Times: "Space resources are resources that belong to all mankind, and individual countries are not allowed to divide space resources.

We call on China to push for an international consensus space convention as soon as possible, so that the moon and other space resources belong to all mankind.

I would also like to condemn the United States, which cannot abandon their allies and enjoy the resources of space alone. ”

Charlie Hebdo, Germany: "The specter of hegemonism is once again floating over the heads of the countries of the world, and new imperialism is reviving again."

For the sake of national development and national interests, we must fight this new imperialism to the end. ”
