Chinese scientists are developing ways to destroy Elon Musk's Starlink satellite network, including laser strikes, custom-built satellites and supply chain sabotage.
They see the system as a growing threat to national security, especially because of its potential to be used by the US in a military confrontation and for spying.
Starlink, which provides low-cost, high-speed internet through thousands of satellites, is now used in more than 140 countries.
Professors from China's National University of Defence Technology wrote: 'As the United States integrates Starlink technology into military space assets to gain a strategic advantage over its adversaries, other countries increasingly perceive Starlink as a security threat in nuclear, space, and cyber domains.'
Though Starlink doesn't operate in China, its satellites still fly over Chinese territory.
