Zitat:The head of the European satellite launch group Arianespace, Jean-Yves Le Gall, warned the United States Friday against Chinese "dumping" in the market and suggested Washington should improve its oversight.
"Today, we see China has re-entered the market for commercial launches, using so-called "ITAR-Free" satellites designed and built without US technology," the Arianespace director general told a space industry luncheon in Washington.
"Coupled with cut-rate launch prices, China is working to flood the market with such satellites and I really think Europe and the US must rise together to address these issues which are very, very important," he said.

btw. während EU sich mit Galileo durchqualt, sind die Chinesen sehr fleissig dabei ihr eigenes Navigationssystem aufzubauen. Ich wette dass Galileo sehr viele potentiellen Kunden verlieren wird, sollten Chinesen es in den nächsten 4-5 Jahren schaffen ein eigenes System zum Laufen zu bringen.

Zitat:Moves by the Chinese army along the Sikkim-Bhutan-Tibet trijunction, culminating in a demand for removal of two Indian army bunkers near an outpost called Batang La, indicate that Beijing is pushing south for more elbow room in the area, a senior official in charge of security of the international border said in Kolkata on Wednesday.
Chinese soldiers have been nudging southward to Torsa Nala beyond the international border for the past 8 to 10 years, the official said.
