Although the Chinese tests do not aim to destroy American satellites, the laser attacks could make them useless over Chinese territory.

The Chinese are on record with complaints about our spying on them. Remember the surveillance plane that was forced to land on Chinese soil....first year or so of the Bush administration?

The Chinese govt. was very slow to release the plane and crew and questioned why the US thought it needed to be making these flights in the first place.

And now, considering how dependent we are on the Chinese for a number of things, how can the Bush admin. do much complaining?
It would take a truly stupid administration to call anything the Chinese do 'an act of war', short of a ground invasion, IMO.
