Five articles are combined in the discussion of Ashley Tellis' work "China's military space strategy" by Michael Krepon in "Opening Pandora's box", Eric Hagt in "Mirror-changing and worst-case scenarios", Shen Dingli's "China's defensive military strategy: the space question", Bao Shixiu and "Clearing up a misunderstanding", and Michael Pillsbury's "The politics of protecting military space assets". The final chapter is Tellis' response to all the scholars involved in the analysis of the original work. Krepon offers a brief summary of the work in four subcategories about ASAT (Anti-satellite) programs; Hagt reviews Tellis' viewpoint that China has strategic plans for ASATs and foresees the competition with the States; Dingli argues with Tellis' remark that China is against America when America supported China in Taiwan events; Shixiu and Pillsbury are very loyal to the work of Tellis except for minor misstatements.

Let us assume that we know pretty well what our objectives are, what the objectives of our adversary appear to be, and with what capabilities he should be credited; in short, let us assume that we have a considerable degree of understanding of the broad political and intelligence aspects of the situation.

Amir Temur relied on mainly his soldiers in order to strengthen his interior and foreign policy of his country's independence and defense.
