The Chinese government is using space power to increase its
influence at home and abroad and hopes to leverage the political,
economic, and military benefits of space to become a great power.
The ambivalent nature of the U.S.-China relationship, however,
assures that over the long term China's rise as a space power will
present challenges to the United States. Militarily, China's
improved remote sensing capabilities and launch tempos require the
U.S. military to prepare to counteract China's use of space in a
potential conflict over Taiwan. Commercially, China's lower labor
costs and mercantilist approach to space could establish China as a
competitive market force. Politically, U.S. diplomats must
recognize the role Chinese space activities plays in diplomacy and
be prepared to ameliorate cooperative activities that impinge on
U.S. national security. Despite these drawbacks, cooperation with
China cannot be ruled out. Cooperation can improve scientific
research, increase safety, and make an opaque program more
transparent, but should not directly improve China's military or
commercial capabilities. Consequently, the U.S. response to China's
rise as a space power should take a balanced approach in which
challenges are managed and opportunities exploited.
