北京在中国常驻联合国代表在由俄罗斯发起的联合国安理会非正式会议上，表达了对SpaceX星链卫星安全和安全风险的担忧，提到了与空间站的近距离碰撞以及被犯罪分子和恐怖分子使用的警告。
在周一由俄罗斯发起的联合国安理会非正式会议上，中国代表提到了星链卫星与中国空间站在2021年的近距离碰撞事件，以及去年12月一颗卫星解体的事件。这些评论是在一位星链高级主管指责中国新发射卫星未协调后不久作出的，该主管称与中国卫星发生近距离碰撞。
根据北京联合国使团的声明，未具名的外交官表示：“近年来，人类在外层空间的探索和利用取得了新进展。”
“与此同时，必须指出，随着商业空间活动的迅速扩张，某些国家商业卫星星座的无序扩散，在缺乏有效监管的情况下，引发了显著的安全和安全挑战。”
这一声明未直接点名SpaceX或埃隆·马斯克，但关键词包括外层空间条约、星链、SpaceX和联合国安理会。中国还提到其自己的千帆宽带网络和国网网络，但未详细说明。
事件凸显了商业卫星扩张带来的全球空间安全问题，呼吁加强监管以避免潜在冲突。

SpaceX's Starlink plans to lower the orbits of about 4,400 satellites from 342 miles to 298 miles this year to enhance space safety amid growing orbital congestion. The move, announced by engineering vice president Michael Nicholls, aims to reduce collision risks and speed up deorbiting during the approaching solar minimum. It follows recent near-misses and a satellite anomaly, highlighting challenges in low-Earth orbit.
Countries around the world are racing to create their own satellite internet networks similar to Starlink, driven by risks associated with dependence on the service controlled by Elon Musk. Starlink has provided crucial connectivity in modern warfare, but incidents like restrictions on Russian access during the Ukraine conflict have heightened concerns. Efforts include projects by the EU, China, and individual European nations to ensure sovereign control over military communications.

The US Federal Communications Commission has authorized SpaceX to nearly double its Starlink satellite constellation to 15,000 by 2031, including placements in lower orbits. This move aims to enhance broadband access across America but has drawn warnings from astrophysicists about potential collisions, atmospheric pollution, and vulnerability to solar storms. While promising faster internet for rural users, the expansion heightens fears of an overcrowded orbital environment.

Following Communications Minister Solly Malatsi's directive allowing Starlink to bypass Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) ownership via equity equivalent programmes, backlash has intensified. ANC members, experts, and opposition leaders criticize it as undermining economic transformation and digital sovereignty, amid debates over a controversial poll and security risks.
SpaceX has filed an application with the Federal Communications Commission to deploy up to one million satellites forming an orbital data center powered by solar energy to meet AI computing demands. The proposed network would vastly exceed current satellite numbers in orbit. The FCC will review the request, likely adjusting the scale as it has in past approvals.

Russia's recent ban on Telegram, a key messaging app, is reportedly hindering its military communications in Ukraine. The move, aimed at promoting a state-owned alternative, has drawn criticism from soldiers reliant on the service. Combined with restrictions on Starlink access, it has affected drone operations on the front lines.
