Did I read that right? Did someone imply that space has not been weaponised unitl China sent a military weapon into space recently??
Its incredulous that someone body could actually BELIEVE that US and its allies did not weaponaise space a long time ago, and they were the first to do so??
This is just not possible for somebody to post something like this and be serious.
They have either be born in the last 10 seconds or they have been paid to come on here and make such intelligence insulting statements.

The technology invested in commercial satellites is quite extraordinary. Is this any different to Western types used for mapping and other work?

There are many "real time" satellites covering weather and environmental themes. A couple below.
EUMETSAT
NOAA
It's hardly complex science to go from real-time sea temperature monitoring to real-time imagery (on a clear day). No doubt that the military of many nations can zoom in on Jo Bloggs sunbathing in his back garden. It's not really a technical problem any more.
visually track all big flying objects such as Air Force 1 and blast it out of the sky in quick time once they weaponize space based platforms.

'Star Wars' or what was called SDI (Strategic Defence Initiative) of the US of A was a flop of horrendous proportions! It was terminated due to the enormous costs involved. But does the US have a scaled down ongoing space weapons program? I haven't the faintest clue.
Probably you can throw some light on this?
