The intensification of U.S.–China relations marked by severe competition and sanctions in the Trump administration has continued in the Biden administration. As stated in the United States’ 2018 National Defense Strategy, strategic competition with China has become Washington’s top defense policy priority. Against this backdrop, United States’ competition with China over the space domain will require much of the world’s attention, as Washington continues to augment its space power in the context of its overall security strategy against China today. Therefore, it is crucial for countries like South Korea to understand how the United States is constructing its own space power and how this may influence South Korea’s national security in the years ahead. The purpose of this paper is thus to analyze the current state of U.S. space power in the context of increasing U.S.–China security competition and provide relevant policy recommendations for South Korea. This research suggests South Korea 1) to establish a military organization with space security focus to promote the country’s prospective space power augmentation and maximize the effectiveness of its joint military operations, 2) to construct its own space power and enhance its strategic value in the midst of U.S.–China space competition, and 3) to implement specific U.S.–South Korea space cooperation plans to develop advanced space technology and space industry capabilities.
Abstract
The intensification of U.S.–China relations marked by severe competition and sanctions in the Trump administration has continued in the Biden administration. As stated in the United States’ 2018 National Defense Strategy, strategic competition with China has become Washington’s top defense policy priority. Against this backdrop, United States’ competition with China over the space domain will require much of the world’s attention, as Washington continues to augment its space power in the context of its overall security strategy against China today. Therefore, it is crucial for countries like South Korea to understand how the United States is constructing its own space power and how this may influence South Korea’s national security in the years ahead. The purpose of this paper is thus to analyze the current state of U.S. space power in the context of increasing U.S.–China security competition and provide relevant policy recommendations for South Korea. This research suggests South Korea 1) to establish a military organization with space security focus to promote the country’s prospective space power augmentation and maximize the effectiveness of its joint military operations, 2) to construct its own space power and enhance its strategic value in the midst of U.S.–China space competition, and 3) to implement specific U.S.–South Korea space cooperation plans to develop advanced space technology and space industry capabilities.
