General Kevin Chilton of the Pentagon Strategic Command says that it is high time for America to initiate more meaningful talks with China and try to understand what it is planning for its space program. So far, little has been heard from the Obama administration in regard to whether or not it is a threat to the United States.

Intelligence units dedicated to China have been astounded by the pace at which that country is developing its space program. They point to how far China has come in the race to space during the last ten years.

People do not understand that sending the gentleman into orbit served two purposes, the regular space program stuff, and it showed the US (and the rest of the world of course) that it can launch a missile in space and land it wherever it wanted, it now has intercontinental missiles to deliver its nuclear weapons.

Is it a threat? It depends on if you view them as an enemy or how much you think our debt will keep them in line. I believe it is.

They would have had ICBM's anyway. The space program itself doesn't bother me.

They would have, but not demonstrably, the space program served to show that they can land them with accuracy.

Also, previous to that they did not, per intel, have that capacity. Now for sure they do.
