Nothing else to say, 1 EMP will wipe all US satellites...Werent you the 1% too? Why do you worry about us puny humans?

You should read your Post one more time. For the GPS system to work it need electrical components, processors and sensors. And these sensors are drifted by a electrical current of electrons.
Satellites will not stand a chance against a EMP.

EMPs can be countered with the correct assortment of materials and devices. They are not a technological apocalypse. Most of that crap gets exchanged for better tech every 3 or so years anyway.

Chinese EMP attack prompts US Missile Strike
DOD has also published “Mil-Standard 188-125,” which describes methods for protecting against a high-altitude electromagnetic pulse for ground-based command and control facilities.[69] However, not all military systems are currently hardened against EMP. In addition, some DOD systems rely on commercial facilities, such as communications satellites and ground-based stations, to support military operations.
I woulld say false. But the Chinese are always doing something- 4 years ago they bought all of our concrete, them our metal. They are blatently ramping up for something.

You're right the author of the article is questionable. I'm checking the website now for newer articles and sorcha posted one that claims China is ordering It's military to prepare for World War 3
True or False?

Huh??? The ICMBs I listed do not use satellites at all for guidance. They use GSP which is simply put rotating warheads that spin at a rate to accurately bring them back into orbit and detonate over their target. Satellites have nothing to do with their guidance what so ever.
The Gyro Stabilized Platform (GSP) measures acceleration and transforms it to velocity which is provided with attitude information to the guidance computer during flight. This data is required so that accurate and proper flight control of the missile is obtained. The GSP also provides level detector and gyrocompass information and accepts control signals so that platform attitude constants are obtained and the platform is properly aligned prior to missile launch.

All EMPs that cause widespread damage are nuclear to my knowledge.
And Like I said, we replace technology a lot. We replace a few parts, we're good to go.
