China disavows general's comments on space

BEIJING -- China on Thursday denied it would ever participate in a space arms race, disavowing comments by a top general who said Chinese armed forces should prepare for the militarization of outer space. “I want to point out China has all along upheld the peaceful use of outer space. We oppose the weaponization of outer space or a space arms race,” foreign ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu told reporters.

“China has never and will not participate in an outer space arms race in any form. The position of China on this point remains unchanged,” he said.
