GPS or not ..is the question now perhaps ?

Well without wishing to start the new year with a prospect of doom ......I am surprised that another member has not mentioned the New runner in the space race . CHINA
When you look at most of the guidance systems , and weapons systems [ whilst not pretending to understand the technical whys and therefore's relating to it] is the next step the disruption and or disablement of this via some sneaky device should the next world confrontation erupt
My concern would be that the majority of defence and attack systems rely heavily on GPS and if a party intent on world domination were to emerge that would be the route to gain the upper hand from the little I understand of it .
Lets face it at the rate that the Chinese are bolstering its surface fleet , and this clear threat hitherto unknown of desire to jump ahead of the USA in space research it must be raising a few eyebrows in US and Russian intelligence circles , or am I stating the obvious .
Are we all being a tad laid back about this move , or will the midnight oil be burning in the White House and the Kremlin now that China has shown her hand .
Our dear Mr Trump may well have been doing just that ......on receipt of that news I suspect .
We tend to revel in the " blind " belief that our piers have a handle on all thats going on around and in everyone else's back yard ....but I wonder if our complacent attitude may come around and bite our arse when least expected .......as it has others in the past ........just as history has taught us all in the past.....Just a thought to bare in mind perhaps
