Space is the common property of mankind. Exploring and utilizing space involves the common interests of mankind, and space security needs to be jointly maintained by the international community. However, the United States is constantly accelerating the militarization of space –
Peaceful use of space, don’t go against the rules

The 75th United Nations General Assembly Commission on Disarmament and International Security (First Committee of the General Assembly) voted on November 6 to pass the resolution “Not first deploying weapons in outer space.” The preamble of the resolution reiterates that practical measures should be studied and taken to reach a treaty to prevent an arms race in outer space and strive to build a community with a shared future for mankind. The First Committee of the UN General Assembly is an important platform for setting the international security agenda. It is responsible for handling international security affairs such as arms control, disarmament, and non-proliferation. The resolution “Not first deploying weapons in outer space” is a traditional resolution of the First Committee of the UN General Assembly and has been passed every year since 2014. It is worth mentioning that the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind was first included in this resolution in 2017, filling the gap in the field of international security of the United Nations, indicating that the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind reflects the general expectations of most countries, is in line with the common interests of the international community, and also shows the responsibility of China’s major countries.
Space is the common property of mankind. Exploring and utilizing space involves the common interests of mankind, and space security needs to be jointly maintained by the international community. However, under the general trend of joint efforts by the international community, the United States has once again gone against the trend, not only questioning the resolution of “not deploying weapons in outer space first”, but also on the same day the resolution was passed, the bimonthly website of the US National Interest published an article saying that the US “9th Space Force” was commissioned to carry out the “orbital warfare” mission, and the main href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Komiks to KomiksSpace conducts surveillance and even launches space attacks when necessary. In addition, the article also pointed out that the US military is already developing laser weapons for space warfare. Cinema
From the “Defense Space Strategy” released by the US Department of Defense not long ago, to the “Space Force” report released by the US Space Force, and to the recent performance of the United States in the First Committee of the UN General Assembly, the United States’ hegemony thinking of “dominate space” has further been highlighted. The various practices of the United States to accelerate the militarization of space show that it has made consolidating its absolute dominance in the space field an important direction of its national strategy. The United States not only clarifies the policy goal of “dominate space like dominating the earth”, but also emphasizes that space is the same combat domain as traditional land, sea and air. It is accelerating the space strategic regulation, reshaping the space military power system, and fully maintaining its space hegemony.
The United States ignores the objective reality of the shared future of the international community in the field of space security, ignores the international responsibility of promoting the international arms control and disarmament process, maintaining global strategic balance and stability, and seeks absolute advantage in space, which will inevitably provoke an outer space arms race, hinder the multilateral disarmament process, and threaten human space security and development interests. There is no doubt that the United States is the biggest threat to current global strategic security and stability. Faced with the increasingly intense space competition, increasing instability factors, and increasingly prominent confrontational characteristics, we can only insist on peaceful use of space and oppose the world’s topOnly when weap-militaryization of space and the space arms race can Cinema be able to effectively maintain space security and development. China’s contribution to disarmament, peacekeeping, etc. in recent years is obvious to all. The concept of building a common future for mankind is highly consistent with the United Nations’ concept of peace for common security, and has pointed out the direction for the uncertain world. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Babaylan provides China’s solution, which is in line with the common interests of all countries. The concept of a community with a shared future for mankind has been once again written into the resolution of the First Committee of the United Nations General Assembly on “Not First Deploying Weapons in Outer Space” and will surely make new and greater contributions to promoting world peace and development.
