1. How will this affect the Missile Defense Shield currently under development?
|
I don't think it will. We are currently working on it in a half-assed kind of way and we'll keep doing that. Won't likely work as advertised anyway.

2. Is China still to remain "most favored nation" trading partner?

Certainly.

3. Any ideas how this will affect geo-political economics? (Think about how multi-national companies will fare if billion dollar satellites get shot down. How will they conduct commerce?)
|
Until they actually shoot something down I don't think it will matter at all. Being able to do something and actually doing it are not the same.

4. Military satellites, and military operations are certainly beginning to understand the "pucker factor" now aren't they?

I don't think China is planning any sort of invasion of America or anything. Plus, there is really nothing we can directly do about their military growth. Just like us, they are free to make any weapon they want.
