How China Plans to Utilize Space for A2/AD in the Pacific.

In 2000, China possessed only 10 satellites, that number now stands at 181. For comparison, the United States and Russia have 576 and 140, respectively. China shows no signs of slowing down, having launched a Gaofen 3 satellite on August 10th, with a Chinese official noting, “Gaofen 3 will be very useful in safeguarding the country's maritime rights and interests”.

China has also now deployed satellites with an array of capabilities such aselectro-optical (EO), synthetic aperture radar (SAR), and electronic reconnaissance (ELINT). Different satellites have various weaknesses like tracking during poor weather conditions, functioning at nighttime, and image quality. Thus, it is of paramount importance to maintain an array of satellite technology for tracking moving targets.

China should use satellites to detect the US stealth fighters and bombers, that is if it can be done. It can combine two methods to do it, the motion detection technology and identifying the already known shape of those aircraft from above. This data should be fed into the computer and imaging devices of the satellite.
