SpaceX’s Starshield unit is developing the satellite network under a classified $1.8 billion contract with the National Reconnaissance Office, or NRO, Reuters reported on Friday, citing five sources familiar with the program.

A social media account run by the People’s Liberation Army, or PLA, said the SpaceX program exposed the ******* States’ “shamelessness and double standards” as Washington accuses ******** tech companies of threatening U.S. security.

“We urge U.S. companies to not help a villain do evil,” Junzhengping, an account run by the PLA, posted on social media platform Weibo on Sunday. The account has 1.1 million followers.

“All countries worldwide should be vigilant and protect against new and even ******* security threats created by the U.S. government,” the post said.

Wang Yanan, chief editor of Aerospace Knowledge, a magazine overseen by the ruling ********** Party, was quoted in an interview as saying the SpaceX satellite project posed “a challenge to global security and stability”.

“The ******* States’ high-profile intelligence reconnaissance of countries or regions it is concerned about will inevitably cause some hot issues to become more sensitive or even escalate,” Wang told The

mentioned Musk or Tesla.

In response to the Reuters’ story, the NRO acknowledged its mission to develop space-based surveillance systems, but declined to comment on the extent of SpaceX’s involvement.

SpaceX, the world’s largest satellite operator, did not respond to several requests for comment about the contract.

The planned Starshield network is separate from Starlink, SpaceX’s growing commercial broadband constellation that has about 5,500 satellites in space to provide near-global internet to consumers, companies and government agencies.

China has said it also plans to start building its own satellite constellations.

Space X, NRO, and the Pentagon did not immediately respond to requests for comment on China’s reaction to the contract.
