Hey everyone! Have you ever dreamed of going to space? π Well, there’s some big news about what’s happening up there!
China is concerned about a new project called the Golden Dome system that the United States is working on. π¨π³π€πΊπΈ This system involves putting weapons in space, and China thinks this could lead to countries competing to have the most weapons up thereβa space arms race! ππ₯
Zhang Xiaogang, a spokesperson for China’s Ministry of National Defense, said that doing this might open Pandora’s box ποΈπ¦ (which means starting something that leads to many problems). He believes it could make space a dangerous place by turning it into a battlefield. π
The Outer Space Treaty is an agreement many countries signed to keep space peaceful and free of weapons. ποΈπ°οΈ China feels that putting weapons in space goes against this treaty. They are asking the U.S. to stop building up military power in space and to help keep space safe for everyone! πβ¨
What do you think about this? Should space be kept weapon-free? Let’s hope all countries can work together to keep our stars shining bright! βπ
