China urges U.S. to ‘stop preparing for war in outer space’
On 15 September 2026, China asked the United States to stop preparing for war in space. This came after the U.S. Space Force confirmed it had put weapons into orbit for the first time. Beijing warned against turning space into a battlefield or an arms race. Businesses should simply watch this as a geopolitical headline, since it changes no tax or compliance rule today.
