US Space Force general says it's 'concerning' just how fast China is closing the gap on the space tech that backs modern armies

After putting 200 satellites into orbit in 2023, it has now doubled its orbital payloads from last year, and it is also building two substantial low-Earth-orbit constellations similar in some ways to Elon Musk's Starlink.

It has even tested experimental "dogfighting" satellites.
