China’s Ministry of State Security exposes foreign intelligence agencies’ efforts to steal space program secrets.
In a recent statement, China’s Ministry of State Security revealed that protecting space security is crucial for the country’s survival and future development. Foreign agencies have been utilizing high-resolution satellites for reconnaissance and espionage activities to gain access to China’s classified information.
This revelation comes amid escalating tensions between global powers in the race for technological and strategic dominance in space. The use of high-resolution satellites as a modern weapon of war has been highlighted, particularly during recent conflicts like the Ukraine-Russia war.
There are growing concerns about security threats in space, including espionage and cyber warfare. If unaddressed, this competition could lead to further militarization of space, posing risks to global peace and stability.
