America is seeing from China a heightened “intent to use counter-space capabilities to threaten space”, the director of the US Defence Intelligence Agency said on Wednesday.

“When you talk national security, China aims to displace the United States as the global leader in space and to exploit space in a way that is to our detriment,” according to Lieutenant General Jeffrey Kruse.
