Defense intelligence report: China in steady pursuit of space capabilities to outmatch U.S.
An unclassified report released Jan. 15 [PDF] by the Defense Intelligence Agency does not reveal anything new about China's advances in space technologies and capabilities. But it does highlight one major concern for the Pentagon: China's military is becoming increasingly adept at militarizing commercial space technologies.
The People's Republic of China is conducting "sophisticated satellite operations and probably is testing on-orbit dual-use technologies that could be applied to counterspace missions," said the DIA in its first unclassified report made public on China's military power.
China's space advances in support of civil, economic and political goals could provide the nation a significant edge in military operations, the DIA said. Chinese military strategists regard the ability to use space-based systems and deny them to adversaries as central to enabling modern warfare. "As a result, the People's Republic of China continues to strengthen its military space capabilities despite its public stance against the militarization of space," said the report.
The PDF is 140 pages long.

Well, there are some really people and systems in the world that straightforwardly have bad designs and intent and need to not be propped up until they find a rock, as we have been with China.
That said, there are certainly policies (internally and externally) in place by the US (or any other country for that matter) that are...shall we say...not appropriate.
In your opinion, is there a specific(*) threatening policy with regard to China that should be changed? If so,
- why was the policy initially implemented and does it still apply,
- why should it be changed,
- in what realistic way should it be changed,
- to-what should it be changed,
- what is the goal of the change,
- and what is the result you would foresee from this change?
