China has accused the US of refusing to take responsibility for problems that arise with Starlink satellites. The states are ignoring the country’s request.

Last year, entrepreneur Elon Musk’s satellites passed dangerously close to the Chinese space station.

“While in orbit, the Chinese astronauts faced a real and urgent security threat. After this incident, the Chinese authorities tried several times to contact their US counterparts by e-mail, but received no response,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said.

According to Lijian, the US behavior does not correspond to the status of a space power. He also noted the threat of further cooperation with the country in the field of space exploration.
