The Chinese may be planning to put GPS satellites in orbit, and use a dirty trick they learned from the French. Apparently they’re going to make the network’s signal frequency so close to the American GPS system’s that one can’t be jammed without jamming the other.
Another dirty trick: The Chinese were allowed to participate in the development of Europe’s Galileo GPS system based on the belief that the technology could only be used for civilian purposes, but China used their involvement to develop their military system.
When will the West learn that China’s rapid tech rise is based almost entirely upon theft?
