[其他] 号外,号外...，中国反卫星武器试验成功,美国心惊,小日本心凉,阿扁心停了...
国内的报道：
2007年才几天，最具刺激性的事就是，中国于1月11日成功地用一枚弹道导弹摧毁了一颗500英里高的轨道上的老化气象卫星。
这是20多年来世界上第一个此类试验，此前最近的一次试验是美国于1985年用导弹摧毁了一颗在轨卫星，此后随着美苏冷战的降温，双方都再也没有进行此类实弹试验。
但是，尽管苏联衰弱并瓦解，美国独大并不影响其继续发展其空间优势，不仅藉由其精益求精的全球导航和观测空间系统，获得全球性战场的绝对信息优势，同时也毫不隐讳地追求全球性精确定位打击能力。有意思的是，这个自大的国家开始把太空看作自家的后花园，其在2006年发表的太空国家政策当然地把太空视为私有领地，同时，当中国在联合国发起倡议成立一个专门的国际组织，以解决实际面临的太空武备竞赛问题时，美国作为在太空领域遥遥领先的国家，却强烈反对，说太空不存在武器竞赛，所谓掩耳盗铃，其意昭然，就是我的私家领地，不容有国际协议进行监管，他不想在他自认为拥有绝对优势的领域受到国际公共利益的约束。
因此，在去年8月，当美国发现自己的一颗卫星受到来自中国的陆基激光器的照射时，还不动声色。OK，中国的此次成功试验，就是明确地告诉美国，你能够随时把太空部署为战场要素，我也能够随时把太空变成战场，用华盛顿一位战略专家MichaelKrepon的话来说，就是，“中国是在提醒五角大楼，他们并没有独占太空。我们可以同样和你玩一样的游戏，并且有可能让你损失更大。”
显然，五角大楼马上被泼了一头凉水，当下的反应就是其国家安全委员会发言人在昨天所说的，中国的太空试验违背了美中两国希望在太空民用领域进行合作的精神。言下之意就是，你们不是要和我们在太空民用领域进行合作吗？有可能没戏了。其心态是居高临下的气急败坏。
看来，五角大楼还没有足够彻底地清醒，能够像某些美国观察者所说的那样，让小布什看清现实，回到中国在联合国的倡议上来，认真地和其他国家商议，如何切实保障太空不会发生军备竞赛。
因此，我们希望中国的这颗导弹在摧毁了那颗旧卫星的同时，也能够把美国食肉者打回现实，历史告诉我们，美国人不打他是不愿意坐到谈判桌边来的。
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- China last week successfully used a missile todestroy an orbiting satellite, U.S. government officials told CNN onThursday, in a test that could undermine relations with the West andpose a threat to satellites important to the U.S. military.
According to a spokesman for the National Security Council, theground-based, medium-range ballistic missile knocked an old Chineseweather satellite from its orbit about 537 miles above Earth. Themissile carried a "kill vehicle" and destroyed the satellite by rammingit.
The test took place on January 11.
Aviation Week and Space Technology first reported the test: "Detailsemerging from space sources indicate that the Chinese Feng Yun 1C(FY-1C) polar orbit weather satellite launched in 1999 was attacked byan asat (anti-satellite) system launched from or near the Xichang SpaceCenter."
A U.S. official, who would not agree to be identified, said the eventwas the first successful test of the missile after three failures.
The official said that U.S. "space tracking sensors" confirmed that thesatellite is no longer in orbit and that the collision produced"hundreds of pieces of debris," that also are being tracked.
The United States logged a formal diplomatic protest.
"We are aware of it and we are concerned, and we made it known," said White House spokesman Tony Snow.
Several U.S. allies, including Canada and Australia, have alsoregistered protests, and the Japanese government said it was worrisome.
"Naturally, we are concerned about it from the viewpoint of security aswell as peaceful use of space," said Yashuhisa Shiozaki, chief cabinetsecretary. He said Japan has asked the Chinese government for anexplanation.
The United States has been able to bring down satellites with missilessince the mid-1980s, according to a history of ASAT programs posted onthe Union of Concerned Scientists Web site. In its own test, the U.S.military knocked a satellite out of orbit in 1985.
Under a space policy authorized by President Bush in August, the UnitedStates asserts a right to "freedom of action in space" and says it will"deter others from either impeding those rights or developingcapabilities intended to do so."
The policy includes the right to "deny, if necessary, adversaries theuse of space capabilities hostile to U.S. national interests."
Low Earth-orbit satellites have become indispensable for U.S. militarycommunications, GPS navigation for smart bombs and troops, and forreal-time surveillance. The Chinese test highlights the satellites'vulnerability.
"If we, for instance, got into a conflict over Taiwan, one of the firstthings they'd probably do would be to shoot down all of our lowerEarth-orbit spy satellites, putting out our eyes," said John Pike ofglobalsecurity.org, a Web site that compiles information on worldwidesecurity issues.
"The thing that is surprising and disturbing is that [the Chinese] havechosen this moment to demonstrate a military capability that can onlybe aimed at the United States," he said.

BBC:
Concern over China's missile test
China is facing international criticism over a weapons test it reportedly carried out in space last week.
Japan has expressed concern, as have the US and Australia.
It is thought that the Chinese used a ground-based medium-rangeballistic missile to slam into and destroy an old weather satellite.
Correspondents say this is the first known satellite intercepting test to have been conducted for more than 20 years.
While the technology is not new, it does underline the growingcapabilities of China's armed forces, according to a BBC correspondentin Beijing, Dan Griffiths.
Space arms race?
Late on Thursday, US National Security Council spokesman GordonJohndroe confirmed an article in the magazine American Aviation Weekand Space Technology, which reported that the test had taken place.
The report said that a Chinese Feng Yun 1C polar orbit weathersatellite, launched in 1999, was destroyed by an anti-satellite systemlaunched from or near China's Xichang Space Centre on 11 January.
The Chinese have yet to confirm the test, which is thought to have occurred at more than 537 miles (865km) above Earth.
Japan's chief cabinet secretary, Yasuhisa Shiozaki, said his governmenthad asked China for confirmation, and for an explanation of what itsintentions were.
"We are concerned about it firstly from the point of view of peacefuluse of space, and secondly from the safety perspective," Mr Shiozakisaid.
Mr Johndroe said the US "believes China's development and testing ofsuch weapons is inconsistent with the spirit of co-operation that bothcountries aspire to in the civil space area".
Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said Australia did notwant to see "some sort of spread, if you like, of an arms race intoouter space".
There are already growing international concerns about China's rising military power.
While Beijing keeps its defence spending a closely guarded secret, analysts suggest that it has grown rapidly in recent years.
Space debris
The test, if confirmed, would mean that China could now theoreticallyshoot down spy satellites operated by other nations, although there isno evidence to suggest that the test was carried out with anythingother than non-threatening intentions.
It would be the first such test since the 1980s, when both the US and the Soviet Union destroyed satellites in space.
These tests were halted over concerns that the debris they produced could harm civilian and military satellite operations.
The same concerns have been raised about this latest reported test.
American Aviation Week and Space Technology said the move could haveleft "considerable space debris in an orbit used by many differentsatellites".
While the US may be unhappy about China's actions, the Washingtonadministration has recently opposed international calls to end suchtests.
It revised US space policy last October to state that Washington hadthe right to freedom of action in space, and the US is known to beresearching such "satellite-killing" weapons itself.
