Today, semi-official People's Network, Beijing, is quoting U.S. and Canadian media reports on China's experiments with an anti-satellite system that might endanger Western satellite navigation GPS. A Western expert is cited with his evaluation that China might soon be able to put its plans into practice, thereby referring to Chinese tests carried out in 2007 and 2010.
The People's Network article ends with a single phrase comment from China reading as follows:
中国军事专家宋晓军对《环球时报》说，能在太空领域互相摧毁，就相当于大国之间的核威慑。
China's military expert Song Xiao Jun (*) says to the "Global Times" report: There's capability of mutual destruction in space corresponding to the nuclear threat among great nations.
(*) Xiao Jun 晓军 = daybreak of the military (a), or: knowing the military (b) or: warn the military (c). Just another funny Chinese forename perfectly fitting with the subject .....

Another report of People's Network is dealing with the New Year's Parade of 100.000 North Korean citizens on Kim Il Song Square in Pyongyang the day before and that was celebrating, among other blessings from North Korea's new leader Kim Jong Un, the successful December 12 launch of a Unha 3 rocket carrying an earth-observation satellite.
