Einstein, did you click on the link and read the entire article? If only you did, that stupid comment wouldnt have materialized.
How illogical was the Chinese action of knocking out a satellite and create debris cloud in space, endangering the safety of many satellites and even manned spacecraft. According to the article there are about 600000 pieces of space debris smaller than 1cm dia. and around 16000 pieces of about 10cm or larger.
Oh, btw, Einstein, to answer your question, they apparently have the technology to track these individual pieces.
Eh, the test is there to show US that if a war breaks out, China has the abilities to shoot down US satellite----just like US has the power to do the reverse. Essentially this is simply two major powers having a d--- measuring contest and the bystanders got hit by the spill over.
