Recently, the U.S. has started playing its old tricks again, claiming that China's Changguang Satellite is helping the Houthi forces. As soon as this news came out, Chinese netizens burst out laughing: "If Changguang really got involved, wouldn't the U.S. aircraft carriers in the Red Sea be resting on the seabed by now?"

This statement isn't an exaggeration. Today, let's take a closer look at just how powerful Changguang Satellite really is.

Many people may not be familiar with Changguang, thinking that private enterprises developing satellites are nothing special. But don't underestimate it; Changguang is currently working on something big — building a "constellation" of 138 high-performance satellites. Each satellite has its own unique capabilities; some have extremely sharp vision, some cover vast scanning areas, and others can shoot videos and identify different spectra. In this way, no corner of the Earth will escape our satellite's watchful eye. For example, it's like installing a 360-degree HD surveillance system for the Earth, allowing us to see wherever we want.

Changguang's abilities are no secret. Over a decade ago, it could already lock onto aircraft carriers. You might think only large targets like aircraft carriers can't hide from it, but you're wrong! Even high-speed flying F-22 fighters or B-2 stealth bombers secretly flying over the U.S. mainland are clearly visible to Changguang.

Other satellites may only take photos, but Changguang can record videos! It's like others using cameras while Changguang uses a camera with God's-eye view. Every move on the ground, sea, or sky is recorded clearly. On the battlefield, this is like giving us "divine eyes," allowing us to see everything the enemy does clearly.

In the Western Pacific, things are even simpler. The U.S. mainly relies on two bases, Guam and Australia. But in front of Changguang, these bases don't amount to much. Once the satellites are activated, they can detect targets in real time and track them steadily. All military targets, whether warships or aircraft, cannot escape our line of sight. Next comes the impressive part: the KJ-3000 airborne warning and control system equips satellite communication devices to receive information transmitted by the satellites in real time. Then it tells the Divine Eagle drone to go there and monitor the area; it also notifies the J-20 fighter jets where the target is and orders them to launch missiles. This process runs smoothly, leaving the enemy nowhere to run.

What's more, Changguang is just our civilian satellite! If military satellites were brought into play, the scene would be even more awe-inspiring. Take the Red Sea, for instance; our satellites can locate a carrier battle group within moments. Imagine this: an aircraft carrier, so large, looks like a small boat in the satellite's view, making it impossible to hide.

Now look at the situation with the Houthis. Their missile guidance systems aren't very effective, relying entirely on drones to search for targets before launching missiles. However, U.S. carriers aren't fools either; once they sense danger, they quickly retreat. Although the Red Sea is narrow, carriers can move fast. It's quite difficult for the Houthis to hit the carriers by chance. Therefore, after all this time, the Houthis have only managed to attack U.S. Reaper drones, and have never touched the carriers.

The U.S. can't beat the Houthis, yet instead of reflecting on its own shortcomings, it tries to blame others, accusing us of helping. If too many false accusations are made, the U.S. should be worried if we get serious. At that point, our satellites will lock onto the sky, guiding Houthis' missiles to strike accurately, leaving U.S. carriers with no place to run even if they try.

In short, the U.S. can't stand seeing us succeed and always looks for excuses to smear us. But the facts speak for themselves; everyone can see Changguang Satellite's capabilities. We don't provoke trouble, but we aren't afraid of it either. Don't push us too far.
