Recent reports and expert opinions highlight an escalating threat in cyber and space warfare, with a particular focus on China's capabilities. Concerns have been raised about 'military age Chinese nationals' entering the U.S. through the southern border, potentially armed with advanced weaponized drones, amidst an aggressive cyber offensive. Critical infrastructure security veteran Michael Welch has noted that SMBs are now major targets for China-linked hacking campaigns. Experts warn that cyberattacks on American command and control, electronic, and space systems could be the first battle in a conflict with China. The Economist suggests that space will be an arena for future combat, a sentiment echoed by other sources. The U.S. is intensifying efforts to maintain its space advantage, while a U.S. official warns that Chinese hacking operations have entered a 'far more dangerous phase', describing it as an 'Everything Everywhere, All at Once scenario'. The struggle for celestial dominance against China and Russia is now a reality.
