Warning: China is developing anti-satellite weapons, a major threat: Britain

The whole world is worried about Russia's aggression. Meanwhile, Britain's intelligence agencies have warned that China, not Russia, is the biggest threat these days. China's dominance in new technologies such as digital currency continues to grow. China is using it to control its own population, neighbouring countries and creditors.

Sir Jeremy Fleming, head of the British intelligence agency GCHQ, said that China is increasing its strength in space. It is developing weapons like Star Wars movies to conquer space. Its Baidu satellite network can be used to track anyone anywhere. 

Fleming warned that both Russia and China have anti-satellite weapons. These are similar to satellite missiles but China is now working on a laser system. It can destroy communication, surveillance and GPS satellites. If the satellite is destroyed, the missile's target cannot be detected. He said Britain needed to stop China's policy of dominating global technology.

China wants to control citizens: Fleming said China's leadership believes its strength and power comes from the party system. That means they keep looking for opportunities to control their citizens instead of supporting their potential. Fleming further said that China is afraid of democracy and freedom of speech. While the Chinese were working to strengthen their economy, the party was using its resources to tighten national security regulations.
