The Space Review: “Today, the Chinese are attempting to do to the Galileo system the same thing that Europe tried, and failed, to do to the US. China has registered with the ITU its intent to use frequencies that are as close to Galileo’s as Galileo’s were planned to be to GPS 3. The speculation is that this is the Chinese response to the European refusal to allow China into the charmed circle of senior Galileo management.”

Philip Chaston: “It takes some level of incompetence to have the Chinese do to you what you tried to do to the Americans . . . . I mustn’t gloat.”

Oh, no.
