China Space Program Makes US Anxious

Joshua Eisenman
The Straits Times, 12 September 2003
China plans to launch a man into space and eventually land on the moon. While such pursuits aim at heightening national pride and legitimizing the communist party's rule, they also spread fears over China's underlying intentions. Putting a man in space would confirm not only China's technological advance, but also its military capabilities, missile technology in particular. While it has emphasized the domestic benefits of its space program, China has been tight-lipped about the military and foreign policy implications. A Chinese space launch could be perceived as threatening to the US and its broad array of satellite-directed weapons and communications. The author suggests that China should consider how its program is perceived by the US, but also whether putting a man in space is the worth the potential economic and political costs. – YaleGlobal
