Chinese scientists have developed strategies to counter the perceived threat posed by Elon Musk's Starlink communications satellites. They believe Starlink poses a high risk to the Chinese government and its strategic interests due to its close ties with the US intelligence and defense establishment, as well as its growing global footprint. Researchers from China's National University of Defense Technology have published papers exploring ways to hunt and destroy Starlink satellites, citing concerns about their potential use by adversaries in military confrontations and for spying.
