What I find most interesting is the strategic dilemma here: the harder you try to eliminate an opponent's advantage, the more you risk damaging the system you're trying to protect. Starlink's scale makes it difficult to destroy without creating consequences for China's own space infrastructure — which makes building a competing capability potentially more attractive than simply trying to neutralise the existing one.
Fascinating - thanks for writing this, will share!
