Quote:
"It [the US diplomatic cable] reveals that China’s anti-satellite system was developed for use not only against satellites but is part of a larger strategic missile-defense system.
"the cable further highlights official Chinese government duplicity in opposing U.S. missile defenses and promoting an international agreement to limit weapons in space at the same time it is secretly working on its own space weapons and missile defense programs.
"[On Jan 11, 2010] U.S. missile warning satellites detected the launches [of the interceptor SC-19 and the target CSS-X-11] and the intercept some 155 miles in space but detected no debris, the cable said.
My comment: This report is based on WikiLeaks that Telegraph had reported on Feb 2, 2011. The quotation above is what is new to me, especially the "no debris" part.
