The Chinese apparently have developed a missile that can attack satellites as far as 530 miles into the black, according to Aviation Week & Space Technology:
"Details emerging from space sources indicate that the Chinese Feng Yun 1C (FY-1C) polar orbit weather satellite launched in 1999 was attacked by an asat system launched from or near the Xichang Space Center."
Interesting, of course, and probably important, but it’s hard to believe the Chinese would want to upset their biggest world market, i.e. us, with an attack on our satellites, when the rest of their military ain’t much to crow about.
