An Analysis Of Sino-US Conflict And Cooperation In Space From The Theory Of Outer Space Control

Continuous improvements in space technology have led to the great exploration of space resource and application of advanced space systems. Following the power of land, sea and air, space capabilities have become a significant multiplier for national force and a strategic determinant factor for international relationships, in other words,"who controls the space controls the earth."Therefore,the international relationship in space, which is expressed as the special collision and cooperation between countries, has become a new significant research field.There are several major theories about the international relationships in space, therein to, theory of "Space Power",extended from Geopolitics such as"Sea Power", "Land Power" and "Air Power", has become comparably well-founded system info.Nowadays,theoretical investigation and evolution has turned out from "why to control space" to"how to control space".After the collection, development and innovation of all the research results in this field, this paper will put up a new theory of "Space Control", set forth its intension and extension, get through all the Chinese and American theories and viewpoints of space control,and make a conclusion upon the comparison.Besides its leading position in international politics, USA's domination in space is even more remarkable.In the theory of space control, the USA's tremendous advantage in Space will bring about its special and general control of space,meanwhile,as a new developing country in space force, China will have increasingly demand for space resource, and the Sino-American relationship in space will turn out to be a "cooperation dilemma"featured as control and anti-control.This paper will analyze the representation and characteristic of the collision and cooperation between China and the United States, and expound the international politician reasons and peculiar spacial factors hiding behind.The "cooperation dilemma" between the two countries is not a piece of unbreakable ice. There are inner demands for less collision and historical opportunities for deeper cooperation. This paper will bring out a new space control theory to serve as a consultation to China's diplomatic strategy in space, stating that China should uphold a space control theory focused on"space share",search for new utilization mode of space resource, head toward a secure way of cooperation, come out with bilateral optimization, and finally realize the maximization of national interests.
