I read about in:

http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewnews.nl.html?id=1188

China performed a successful anti-satellite (asat) weapons test

If the test is verified it will signify a major new Chinese military capability.

Details emerging from space sources indicate that the Chinese Feng Yun 1C (FY-1C) polar orbit weather satellite launched in 1999 was attacked by an asat system launched from or near the Xichang Space Center.

may we experience now a "Chinese SDI" ?
