China Worries About U.S. ‘Golden Dome’ Defense Plan 🌐🚀
Hey there! Have you ever heard of a missile defense system? It’s like a giant shield that can stop missiles from hitting a country. Recently, the United States announced a new plan called the “Golden Dome” defense system.
China is very concerned about this new plan. On Wednesday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning talked about it. She said that the Golden Dome isn’t just defensive—it could be used in an offensive way too. That means it might not just protect but could also be used to attack.
The Golden Dome is a big project that will use new technologies on land, at sea, and even in outer space! But did you know there’s a rule called the Outer Space Treaty? This treaty says countries should use space peacefully and not put weapons up there.
Mao Ning worries that the Golden Dome goes against this treaty. She thinks it might lead to putting weapons in space, which could start a new arms race. That’s when countries build more and more weapons to try to be stronger than each other.
She also mentioned that the U.S. is focusing too much on its own safety and not thinking about other countries. She said, “This jeopardizes global strategic balance and stability. China is gravely concerned over this development.“
China is asking the U.S. to stop building this new defense system. They hope all the big countries can work together, trust each other, and keep the world safe.
What do you think about countries building big defense systems like the Golden Dome? 🤔
