- China yesterday became the third state on the planet - after the former Soviet Union and the US - to launch a manned spacecraft. Such a successful introduction of advanced technology by a developing country might be thought a cause for international celebration - but that is not how the militarists in Washington will see it. There, it is likely that the launch will be used as further evidence of a "China threat", while China's own proposal - for a treaty banning weapons from space - will be rejected. The danger is that President Bush will repeat the US reaction to the Soviet space program. In the 1950s, when Moscow launched Sputnik, the first satellite, it triggered a massive military build-up by Washington. |
