But the laser power on Shijian-20 remains classified. The US military has reportedly sent a satellite to spy on Shijian-20 from a close distance, but the Chinese satellite moved away.

It's probably "standard behaviour" to spy on "enemy" satellites, but it seems so petty and dumb when put this way.

so funny how they tried to spy on it but moving away just invalidated it

This is totally like when someone you didn't like tried to cheat off your shit in school. Gotta scooch the desk away.

Ah shit ah fuck they have thrusters on that thing

Also I imagine the engineers piloting the satellite: 😒

So it's cool if we spy and steal their technology? But when China commits "IP Theft" it's a world ending problem
