Toward a New National Security Space Strategy: Benefiting from Entanglement with China

It is important that the security communities in both the U.S. and China recognize that space is a global commons, and that political entanglement paradoxically benefits both countries.

Space cooperation and entanglements will not result in a country fundamentally changing its domestic ideologies or geostrategic goals.
