China Complains to UN About Musk’s SpaceX Satellites

(Bloomberg) — The Chinese government complained to the United Nations about near misses its space station allegedly had with SpaceX satellites, a sign of rising tensions in the space race between China and the U.S.

Two satellites from the American company founded by Elon Musk came close to the station in July and October, forcing China’s astronauts to take evasive action, Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said Tuesday at a regular press briefing in Beijing.
