Webinar | The CCP’s “Unrestricted Warfare” in Outer Space

The Chinese Communist Party understands that a nation that can control what it calls the “earth-moon system” can also have a decisive impact on what happens on our planet.

The CCP, consequently, is aggressively pursuing not only global domination, but that of outer space, as well, and preventing others – most especially the United States – from being able to rival the PRC in space. Unlike America’s civilian space agency, NASA, China’s space program is a military one with a patina of dual-use and commercial applications that helps obscure the inherently threatening character of Beijing’s ambitions and its growing capabilities with regard to space.

The next Committee on the Present Danger: China webinar in its series on the CCP’s “Unrestricted Warfare” will examine how such warfare is being waged in the High Frontier and its ominous implications.
