During the visit Marine Corps Gen. Peter Pace, JCS Chairman, paid to China recently, he asked on several occasions about Beijing’s antisatellite test but met a Great Wall of silence.

They did not answer that question. … There were certain things they were very open about, but they were not open about that.”
