China has secretly fired powerful laser weapons designed to disable American spy satellites by "blinding" their sensitive surveillance devices,

attacks have been kept secret by the Bush administration for fear that it would damage attempts to co-opt China in diplomatic offensives against North Korea and Iran

attacks could make them useless over Chinese territory

just over chinese territory, kinda agree.........if they have the means to do it why not, it's an invasion on their privacy, might also make US think of better ways to look in there
