Rose. He explained how the United States defines the term: “the pursuit of those activities that ensure the sustainability, stability and free access to, and use of, outer space in support of a nation’s vital interests.”Rose said the February 2009 collision between a commercial satellite and an inoperable Russian military satellite served as a stimulus in opening an international discussion about a code of conduct for space activities. Both Rose and Schulte say that it is in the interest of all nations to help prevent “mishaps, misperceptions and mistrust.”Rose told participants in the Prague meeting that the United States is taking a number of steps to show responsibility and transparency in its space activities: working on how to avoid space object collisions, improving the protection of space systems and infrastructures, and strengthening measures to reduce the hazard of orbital debris.The European Union issued its proposal for a code of conduct May 31. Rose said the EU proposal is consistent with U.S. support for “responsible actions in, and the peaceful use of, space,” and he added that the United States is weighing whether to initiate formal talks with the EU and other interested nations on a code of conduct for space. In the meantime, he said, the United States is involved in multilateral talks on space activity organized under the auspices of the United Nations, and is hopeful these discussions will lead to measures that solve existing problems. No Weaponization Now – ChinaChina is not weaponizing space now Shixiu 7 [Bao, senior fellow of military theory studies and international relations at the Institute for Military Thought Studies, Academy of Military Sciences of the PLA of China, visiting scholar at the Virginia Military Institute, “Deterrence Revisited: Outer Space,” China Security, Winter, 2007, p2-11, http://www.wsichina.org/cs5_1.pdf] Despite the need for an effective deterrent to meet security challenges that China may confront in space, it will not initiate a space weapons race with the United States or any other country. First, China does not have the ambition to enter a space weapons race. During the Cold War period, faced with a threat of nuclear war, China did not join in the nuclear weapons race between the United States and the Soviet Union. Today, China’s space program is pointed in the direction of peaceful development. The new political and diplomatic doctrines – a harmonious society and world – also curb China’s entrance to a space weapons race.14 Second, China does not have the ability to enter a space weapons race. Although China has ambitious plans in space, the technical gap, especially in the military area vis-à-vis the United States, is difficult if not impossible to fill. China will not and cannot expend significant budgetary resources pursuing space weapons, but will instead focus on civilian and commercial space assets.15 So, if China owns space weapons, their number and quality will be limited in their capacity to act as an effective defense mechanism and will not be a threat to other countries. China has every interest to avoid triggering a confrontation in outer space and it will never be a deliberate choice for China. Equally important, however, is that China will not shrink from defending its core national interests.
