Why is Chinese army propaganda on this site? It's not news that the PLA will oppose technology that gives the US military an advantage.
Americans propaganda has completely brainwashed you

An odd take on a regime that has known and significant human rights violations. I’m not saying the US is doing great right now, but China is not something to look up to.

Power is power.
The US has due process, judicial transparency, and free speech. There are still rich people that operate above the system, but they're largely still accountable and the free press can crucify them.
Authoritarian regimes have execution vans, no freedom of the press, no free speech, and a paranoid leadership that will jail or kill anyone who threatens their power. They lock citizens inside and prohibit capital flight.
No system is perfect, but democracy is strictly better.
I love China and the Chinese people, but the CCP is a drag on both.
I'm no fan of the party in power in the US, but I can campaign and speak out against them. I can raise money to oppose them. I can band together with like minded individuals to protest. That's superior to unilateral oppression.

SpaceX already does geo-lock them to an extend. But the terminals are exported to so many countries that any meaningful controls are impossible.
The terminal knows where it is at all times.
I think what's actually funnier is that the satellite shooting the laser has to know where the terminal is with pin point accuracy too. So it's pretty easy to cut off targeting to a vast chunk of the planet.

Csis is everything but neutral.

Not specific to this article, but I generally like to find third party sources to confirm or deny the "bipartisan" and "nonprofit" parts of their about page. I've seen too many where that turned out to be false.
Just today I tried an experiment asking the YouTube Ai question bot "where on the political compass are the opinions expressed in this video?"
The chatbot couldn't get past the fact that the video said it was non-partisan and if they said it it must be true.

They're hardly a voice of reason, they criticize the US so everyone rallies around them, but they're just taking advantage of the situation like anyone else would. It's all optics. I think the era of the superpower is already over. They can't build a peaceful relationship with taiwan, it would hurt the PRC if they did that. They need an point of contention for political reasons there, but taiwan has seen what has bec…

#47It's not great that they found starlink terminals on Russian drones (they've since tried to lock them down more). These should be export controlled and geo-locked as they are arguably much more powerful than any missile.

#48I noticed this the other day with the Anthropic upholding its redline. I think this is the first time in history where consumer tech exceeds military tech. Historically, it was always military tech trickles down to consumer.

Did you read the first sentence? > In this piece, two researchers from PLA-affiliated National University of Defense Technology argue that
Thanks; I missed that and almost sullied my mind reading an argument formulated by a potential adversary to the United States of America.

The sats don't use lasers to communicate with terminals, just regular radio waves, they only use lasers for inter-satellite communication
