China has raised alarms over the United States' controversial Golden Dome space defense system, calling it a potential trigger for a new era of interstellar militarization. At a Thursday press briefing, Chinese defense spokesperson Zhang Xiaogang likened the project to "opening Pandora's box" – a move that could turn the final frontier into a battlefield 🛰️💥.
"The U.S. is single-handedly rewriting the rules of space security," Zhang stated, emphasizing that Washington's push for space-based weapons violates the 1967 Outer Space Treaty designed to keep celestial realms peaceful. The spokesperson spotlighted America's "unmatched track record" in space militarization efforts over recent decades.
As tensions orbit higher, China urges international cooperation: "We call on all nations to prioritize dialogue over destruction," Zhang declared, advocating for space to remain humanity's shared domain rather than a cosmic chessboard for superpower rivalries 🌍✨.
