China has sounded the alarm over the U.S. 'Golden Dome' missile defense system, calling it a potential trigger for space militarization 🌌. Unveiled on May 20, the high-tech system—set for completion in three years—combines land, sea, and space-based 'next-gen' tech, sparking global security debates.
🇨🇳 Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning warned the system 'violates the peaceful use of outer space' as outlined in the Outer Space Treaty. 'It’s not just defense—it’s offensive,' she said, arguing it risks an arms race and undermines global stability.
🔥 Critics say the U.S. is chasing 'absolute security' at the expense of global balance. 'This isn’t just about America First—it’s about everyone’s security last,' Mao added, urging Washington to halt deployment and prioritize international trust.
With tensions rising, the world watches: Will this tech spark a new Cold War in orbit? 🛰️💥
