Gen. Stephen Whiting highlighted the need for China's more transparent communication regarding space debris, especially following the breakup of their Long March 6A rocket.
The detection of over 300 pieces of debris from the Long March 6A rocket's breakup raises concerns about space sustainability and China's responsibility in keeping orbit clean.
Whiting mentioned improvements in U.S.-China military dialogue but emphasized that better communication about incidents leading to space debris is crucial for safety in low-Earth orbit.
While acknowledging the successful deployment of satellites, Whiting expressed frustration over the debris generated, asserting the importance of shared information and responsibility in space.
