(AP) -- China on Tuesday called for talks on a space weapons treaty, a day after its defense minister reportedly said the country had no plans for a repeat of last month's test of an anti-satellite weapon.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said China joined with Russia and other states in urging negotiations for an agreement under the Conference on Disarmament in Geneva.
"China has always advocated the peaceful use of space, and advocates strengthening international exchanges and cooperation on the peaceful use of outer space," Jiang said at a regularly scheduled news conference.

Yet another example of US-unipolarity.
The greatest threat to world peace today.
Yet the motion made little headway, and President Bush in October signed an order in October tacitly asserting the U.S. right to space weapons and opposing the development of treaties or other measures restricting them.
World-dictate?
US Global empire?
(The article is filed under "Space and Earth science" - but this is extremely political!)
