Original: SpaceWatchGL GRAY SPACE – COSCO Spy Ships: How Space Can Help Until the West Weans Itself Off Maritime Dependency
SpaceWatch.Global has published an analysis examining COSCO vessels allegedly used for intelligence gathering, and how satellite and space-based surveillance can help the West monitor them while it works to reduce its reliance on Chinese maritime shipping. The piece frames the issue as a gray-zone security challenge, arguing that space capabilities offer a bridge until Western supply chains become less dependent on Chinese-linked shipping networks.
