The ambivalent nature of the U.S.-China relationship, however, assures that over the long term China's rise as a space power will present challenges to the United States. Militarily, China's improved remote sensing capabilities and launch tempos require the U.S. military to prepare to counteract China's use of space in a potential conflict over Taiwan. Commercially, China's lower labor costs and mercantilist approach to space could establish China as a competitive market force. Politically, U.S. diplomats must recognize the role Chinese space activities plays in diplomacy and be prepared to ameliorate cooperative activities that impinge on U.S. national security. Despite these drawbacks, cooperation with China cannot be ruled out. Cooperation can improve scientific research, increase safety, and make an opaque program more transparent, but should not directly improve China's military or commercial capabilities. Consequently, the U.S. response to China's rise as a space power should take a balanced approach in which challenges are managed and opportunities exploited. 606 $aAstronautics and state$zChina 606 $aAstronautics and state$zUnited States 607 $aChina$xStrategic aspects 607 $aUnited States$xRelations$zChina 607 $aChina$xRelations$zUnited States 615 0$aAstronautics and state 615 0$aAstronautics and state 700 $aPollpeter$b Kevin$01351528 712 02$aArmy War College (U.S.).$bStrategic Studies Institute 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910698327203321 996 $aBuilding for the future$93115067 997 $aUNINA
