Great retort there!
I find it apropriate for 50 centers. Why should i be educating you when you can rely on your friends. Stay dumb.

The Soviet Union had capability that China can't match even today. And you really think the US will just let China destroy US space assets without retaliation?
How will the US retaliate if and when such circumstances arises by
A nuclear strike?
or
Destroying one of chinese satellites?
US has more to lose than China when comes to C4ISR. The whole US armed forces is based on tri serivice network 3rd gen warfare. If the network is down. So is the whole US armed forces.
so basically what you are suggesting is that US will not be in a position to respond?

Chi bot doesn't know.
Northrop Grumman Delivers New BACN-Equipped Global Hawk to Air Force Ahead of Schedule NYSE:NOC
Above is the response if satellites are offline. The concept has been in the works for over a year now. Basically, a Global Hawk equipped with electronics like satellites for relaying info.
As for your original question:
An artist's concept of a new way of removing unwanted satellites/debris. Just dump them so they loose orbital velocity and burn. I imagine one or two would go in the cargo bay of the X-37B.
Another, smaller concept:
Communication will be up and that is easier but GPS will need a few point to increase accuracy which is difficult to emulate in short time once it out. All your precision ammuntion of JDAM and targeting will be useless if GPS is down.
If it can reach 10,000 kilometres, then this is the first step to creating a missile that goes even further.
China is developing a new form of warfare and this is very worrying for the US military that relies heavily on satellites.
With these tests, China is signalling in no uncertain terms that it is prepared to fight the US everywhere if needs be.
What wonderful capabilites of space that Soviet Union has that China do not now? Their mid course ABM is so inaccurate that they even needs to fit nuclear warhead to achieve the kill while China an exo-atmospheric collision using pure kinetic impact that demonstrated the accuracy that Soviet Union and Russia federation even now is not able to match.
On February 20, 2008, it was announced that the launch was carried out successfully and an explosion was observed consistent with the destruction of the hydrazine fuel tank.[11]
Experts debated whether the hydrazine tank would have survived an uncontrolled reentry. However, if it had, any human fatality would still have been very unlikely. Although hydrazine is toxic, a small dose would not have been immediately lethal. The chance of the (assumed intact) hydrazine tank landing close enough to at least one person for that person to be killed if he or she lingered in the vicinity of the crash site was about one percent, while the cost of the intercept was about $100 million.
The intercept, however, was widely interpreted as a demonstration of U.S. capabilities in response to the Chinese anti-satellite test a year earlier. The intercept was different from typical ASAT missions in that it took place at a much lower altitude (133 nautical miles or 247 kilometers) than would normally be the case, and the SM-3 missile as currently deployed would not have adequate range and altitude reach for typical ASAT missions in low-Earth orbit. However, the warhead was shown capable of hitting a satellite at orbital closing speeds.

I believe China respond is more to warning US. Remember when China joins Galileo projects, US give an arrogant warning that it will knock out Galileo if its available to China in times of war against them. Thinking China has nothing to do to US GPS. In fact, after that stupid comment. ASAT of China becomes reality in 2007. China are in fact giving US warning that they do will have the means to retaliate at US.
In case of US, Israel, Iran war. China Beidou II system is available to Iran. US will think twice about knocking out China Beidou system since China has mean to disrupt US capabilites too.

the northrop's BACN is sub-orbital and serves different functions. It is never a GPS
Shoot down the janitors!
It's not meant to be a GPS, it is meant to provide additional functionality that satellites offer in addition to GPS signal. Stuff like command, control, communications etc...

I challenge you to counter yourself, i'll provide you with two keywords: mini satellite and expendable.
What kind of a response would you write if you knew the two keywords apply to the "janitors". What would immediately be clear after thinking about it and an ASAT missile.
