China wants space weapons treaty

After destroying a satellite with a missile, China is calling for a treaty that would forbid weaponizing space. AP:

"Since other countries care about this question and are opposed to weaponization of space and an arms race in space, then let us join hands to realize this goal," said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu when asked to respond to criticism of the test by the United States and Japan.

Ms. Yu then offered to sell a bridge in Brooklyn.
