I love the audacity of China to warn the United States over its plans to shoot down one of its ailing satellites; especially given their own missile test in January of last year. At least the United States has taken the responsible action of warning other nations instead of conducting matter in a similar fashion as China and then sitting in silence for days on end while the rest of the world sat in shock.
