"In the highly "informatized" and technologically advanced battles that characterize the 21st century, outer space will play a dominant role. Space assets direct military operations and help in making crucial battleground decisions. In this regard, attempts to weaponize space and command this sphere are to be expected from great powers. The United States and USSR started weaponizing space in the in the 1950s and 1960s respectively, and China is now following suit. What Is the "Weaponization" of Space? The weaponization of space includes placing weapons in outer space or on heavenly bodies as well as creating weapons that will transit outer space or simply travel from Earth to attack or destroy targets in space. Examples include the placing of orbital or suborbital satellites with the intention of attacking enemy satellites, using ground-based direct ascent missiles to attack space assets, jamming signals sent from enemy satellites, using lasers to incapacitate enemy satellites, plasma attacks, orbital ballistic missiles, and satellite attacks on Earth targets. These can be further classified into direct-energy and kinetic-energy weapons…."

The problem with near space is there's nowhere to hide. If combat does occur there, it'll probably make WWI trench warfare look like a picnic, so hopefully, only bots and satellites are in play, since it is going to be very messy. |

Good article. It would appear that China's main doctrine against the US in any war would include a heavy focus on destroying more vulnerable C3, force multipliers and enablers.
Makes sense when your primary opponent is far better equipped, far better trained, has extensive combat experience and a bigger force.
