China says Trump's "Golden Dome" missile defense plan increases risk of "space becoming a battlefield"

  • On May 20, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump announced the $175 billion Golden Dome missile defense system in Washington, D.C., aiming to intercept missiles, including those launched from space.
  • The plan responds to advanced missile threats from China and Russia, with the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency forecasting more sophisticated attacks and novel delivery systems.
  • Golden Dome is planned as a multi-tiered defense network integrating both terrestrial and space-based interceptors designed to identify and neutralize missiles throughout all four critical phases of an attack within three years.
  • Chinese spokeswoman Mao Ning warned that the system could increase the chances of space becoming militarized and provoke a new arms race, urging the United States to halt its development.
  • China and Russia warned the plan undermines global strategic stability and arms control, increasing space militarization risk and potentially triggering an international arms race.
