| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Space warfare will be an integrated part of battle planning by the
Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) in any future conflict. One
of the major proponents of integrated space power for the PLA, Maj
Gen Cai Fengzhen, believes that control of portions of outer space is
a natural extension of other forms of territorial control, such as sea
or air control. China's contemplation of the military use of space has
focussed on two broad areas, namely, how to use space in military
operations to increase its offensive capability, and how to use space
in military operations to deny space capabilities to adversaries |
