The Executive Summary states: "The first two parts of this study present the results of a survey of Chinese writings that discovered thirty proposals that China should acquire several types of anti satellite weapons. Many foreign observers have mistakenly claimed that China is a pacifistic nation and has no interest such weapons. The Director of the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office Donald Kerr confirmed a Chinese laser had illuminated a U.S. satellite in 2006. These skeptical observers dismissed that laser incident, but then appeared to be stunned by the reported Chinese destruction of a satellite January 11, 2007. China declined to confirm the event, but many foreign governments immediately protested, including Japan, South Korea, Australia, Canada, and Britain. Of the thirty Chinese proposals, one set would be particularly challenging to U.S. military vulnerabilities in a crisis. In each of their books, Chinese Colonels Li, Jia, and Yuan all advocated covert deployment of a sophisticated antisatellite weapon system to be used against U.S. in a surprise manner without warning. A second set of Chinese concepts proposed in these open source writings would also be particularly challenging. Many of the concepts recommended include both jamming and attacking ground stations, rather than the permanent destruction of U.S. satellites."
