Beijing has built up a huge arsenal of hypersonic weapons – dubbed “carrier killers” – aimed at neutralising the power of the US Navy and attacking American facilities in the Pacific.

Beijing has built up a huge arsenal of hypersonic weapons – dubbed “carrier killers” – aimed at neutralising the power of the US Navy and attacking American facilities in the Pacific.
Rick Fisher, an expert on China’s military from the International Assessment and Strategy Center, said the satellite is “a classic case of a Chinese dual use” of civilian tech that also serves military missions.
He told The Sun Online that China’s laser activity could pave the way for a surprise Pearl Habor-style missile attack on Hickham – a joint US Navy and Air Force facility.
But Fisher also warned the Chinese People’s Liberation Army could target other US bases from Japan to California.
“Indeed there is an increasing Chinese threat to Hawaii but in a general war over Taiwan the PLA will also likely target US facilities in Japan, South Korea, Alaska and California,” he said.
