I couldn't have said it better. US superpower status will burn in hell for their racist double standard hypocrisy.
Nice. It helps PLA understand, how much others understand (and are willing to let out) of China's forces.
Each of the six operations Bases cover discrete geographical areas. As seen in the map below, the missile brigades of Base 61 cover eastern and some of southeastern China, Base 62 covers the rest of southeastern China, Base 63 covers inland southern China, Base 64 covers northwest and north-central China, Base 65 covers eastern and northeastern China, and Base 66 covers central China. Each Base also features a unique makeup of nuclear and conventional forces depending on individual mission and strategic need: Base 61, for instance, is made up of mostly short-range conventional missile brigades primarily aimed at Taiwan, while more inland Bases, such as Bases 64 and 66, are made up primarily of longer-range nuclear forces.

China called for space weapons ban and the US rejected it because the US had a clear advantage at the time over everyone else. Now they want to negotiate with China to limit its advantages. Everyone in the world knows the US can nuke them. It's only the US that whines about others' capability to nuke them back. Only the US whines when another country gains the capability of an advantage that the US only had before. Will we see China whine when other countries develop similar systems? No. Only the US does that because as usual the West expects the unnatural to occur and China is supposed to negotiate taking away something that makes Americans think twice before they act in their natural arrogance.
The US thinks it can have these things because they're the most civilized and responsible and therefore can be trusted not to abuse them. Not when the US government can change every four years and have alt-right white supremacists in control which they no longer are hiding in their mother's basement. They're in the open now and the Republicans and even the Democrats in their China policies are catering to them. When the US has the advantage, they throw it in your face, taunting and threatening to use it against you. Are those the acts of civilized people? And they wonder why all these new weapons they don't have are being developed...

Those satellites would only last long enough to just see the warheads before they all go silent from incoming ASATs in the end.

The problem with this congressman's argument against a no first use policy is the same situation will come with eliminating all nukes. What's to prevent Russia and China from being more belligerent if there were no nukes to fear? The US wants their nukes and there will never be a ban on nukes because they would lose in a conventional war. They would have to deal with dead Americans coming home in body bags like never before. They like their wars like it were a video game displacing them from experiencing death. That's why the US dropping bombs on some country in the world every day of the year doesn't affect them while accusing China of being a warmonger because most them are dropped by drones. They don't think they actually did it like how the US outsourced torture to other countries during their war on terror so they can claim the US doesn't torture anyone.
Well, that means China would have to have thousands of ASAT and ABM missile on standby any time to knock out enemy satellites and incoming ICBMs. Currently, China had deployed only several hundred HQ-9 launchers at most, and Beijing is already complaining about HQ-9 being expensive and got the HQ-22 as a cheap (but less effective) alternative. Imagine the prohibitive cost associated with thousands of HQ-19 and HQ-29 ASAT/ABMs needed to defend at least several Chinese cities from being smoked.
China could also go full scorched-earth and make space full of debris to knock out all space assets from all countries
Instead of having an explosive warhead, it could have 10000 small steel balls (shotgun style) and explode them into the upper space.
Make it x1000s missiles with calculations of where to ideally explode each missile for best coverage and you got the recipe of completely destroying everything that is in orbit
After all, China already has communication drones which can act as sensor nodes so it can partially fill the sat roles
To summarise, I see this move as completely destroying US capabilities while greatly harming China. Net positive to China (war is going to be closer to its shores, more options to replace satellite roles by airborne means)
Side effects include stopping human's civilization advancement into space for dozens of years, but this should be an acceptable price to win such a war against a belligerent US
