> Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun urged the United States to halt its expanding military buildup and preparations for war in outer space, and to protect global strategic stability through concrete actions. Responding to a question about the US Space Force’s claim to possess in-orbit weapons, Guo said China opposes weaponizing space, turning it into a battlefield and starting an arms race there.
