The Secure World Foundation’s 2025 Global Counterspace Capabilities report highlights China’s accelerated development of a wide range of counterspace weapons. The analysis outlines China’s focus on direct-ascent and co-orbital anti-satellite systems, directed energy weapons, electronic warfare, and rendezvous and proximity operations. These advancements are part of a sustained effort to strengthen Chinese military power in orbit. The report also notes the suspected deployment of an experimental satellite in geostationary orbit designed to conduct space-based jamming. Overall, the findings underscore growing concerns about the militarization of space and the vulnerability of orbital assets.
