China claims to have turned the tables in orbit.

One of its satellites recently photographed a US “surveillance” satellite allegedly observing Chinese space assets.

Analysts describe it as a striking example of tit-for-tat monitoring in the fast-evolving space domain.

On September 8, a Jilin-1 satellite from Chang Guang Satellite Technology captured four images of the American WorldView Legion satellite from about 40 to 50 kilometers (31 miles) away.
