中國日前發射導彈至太空,並成功摧毀一顆氣象衛星。美國白宮及國務院19日雖對中國此舉表達關切,但態度相當低調,並未嚴厲譴責北京作為,只期待北京提供更多測試細節。
白宮發言人普蕾諾與國務院發言人凱西對此都表示,美國針對中國太空試射飛彈,已經分別從華府及北京兩地,向中國表示關切,也提到包括日本及澳大利亞,都已發表強烈聲明關切,但中國迄今毫無回應。
WASHINGTON
(AP) — Criticizing China’s test of an anti-satellite weapon, the U.S.
State Department said Friday “modern life as we know it” depends on the
security of space-based technology.
State Department deputy
spokesman Tom Casey said the administration raised concerns about the
test with Chinese officials in Washington and in Beijing, making clear
its opposition to “any militarization of space.”
